Proposal

Beech trees: T1 and T3 - whole crown reduction to 8m above ground level to provide sufficient clearance to property that would cause severe injury. T2 - tree stump - remaining trunk removal as is assumed dead. No replacement of tree but to grow a natural lawn, and will be planting various species of plants, shrubs, wildflowers etc to encourage wildlife into the garden, which has not been possible before due to suffocation by the sheer volume of droppage of the trees
