Proposal
Group of mixed species trees including Quercus ilex, Quercus robur, Tilia europaea (G1) - Request permission to cut back to boundary due to the trees significantly encroaching the garden space and restricting light. The branch length to be cut back varies across the length of the group and is estimated to vary between 1-2.5m.
