Proposal

No 1 Large Beech Tree - see plans and sketch with photos showing approx. location of this beech very close to 42a Ben Jonson Close. Propose to cut down the beech tree down to a level where if it were to snap/break/uproot/fell/fall/hit by other trees. It wouldn't fall on to my roof/house. Machinery would be used to first cut back the smaller to main branches, then in sections, the main branches then the trunk would be cut down in manageable sections. Access would be through Rowcroft Hospice grounds, permissions has been granted by Rowcroft Estates.
