Proposal
T1 Conifer: Fell to ground level / Section dismantle Justification: The conifer has significantly outgrown its location at the rear of the garden and has become unsuitable for the available space. Due to its size, density and proximity to the boundary, it is causing excessive shading, dominance and encroachment, and can no longer be managed satisfactorily through pruning without significantly compromising its form. Felling is therefore proposed as the most appropriate long-term management solution. The adjoining neighbour has been consulted and is in agreement with the proposed removal.
