Proposal

TREES: PINE (T1) - Remove 2 x lowest limbs growing over the rear garden The subject tree is located on a boundary and is encroaching onto the property and causing excessive shade in the rear garden. Due to the continual mess from general tree litter and birds roosting, the area under the crown is unsuitable. This is affecting the reasonable enjoyment of the garden.
