Proposal

Please see attached plan and location photographs of each tree in question. The application consists of crown reduction on a cherry tree (no5), holm oak (no1)and a sycamore (no2). Also the removal of a pine tree (no3) which appears to be dying and have noticed considerable deterioration over the past few years. Also the removal of dead branches from pine tree (no4). Branches have fallen from this tree and these have been quite dangerous. This tree is also showing signs of decline and ultimately I would like to remove it, if not now certainly within a couple of years.
