Proposal
TREES: Cypress & Yew - (G1) - Reduce Cypress tree by 3-4 metres and Yew by 1.5-2 metres as Cypress has potential decay in the old pruning wounds and both protrude general height of the surrounding trees with proposed reduction giving a more balanced appearance to the group of trees, 1 x Holly, 2 x Yew, 2 x Thuja - (G2) - Reduce height of this group of trees by between 2 & 4 metres because these trees shade the garden and terrace of surrounding properties with proposed reduction reducing these issues and retaining their visual amenity.
