Proposal

All scotch pines T1 T2 T3 T4 T5 T6 to be removed T1 T2 are in poor form with stunted growth However the trees assessed (T1 - T6 inc) have varying degrees of lean and overhang the rear garden with three being within reach of the conservatory and building these are categorised as high occupancy target areas being constant features beneath these trees. The conservatory offers minimal protection should failure occur with the potential to cause significant damage and injury to the occupants. T7 requires serious deadwooding T8 to remove LH limb to mitigate failure T9 to remove damaged limb The trees in question have limited visual amenity value and their presence on the landscape is restricted to the one residential properties.
