The Chaltons Cold Ash Hill Cold Ash Thatcham Berkshire RG18 9PH
Proposal
Yew tree - we would like to cut/trim the yew tree back to our border using a tree surgeon. The tree overhangs the boundary by 2 metres. This is because it blocks out all of our daylight but more importantly because of the poisonous berries and leaves which are putting our young dog and niece and nephew at risk. I have been advised that these can kill a small child or animal. The berries have also caused a fly infestation, which means we are unable to go out and use the garden at certain times of the day (video supplied).
