Proposal

2/2/295 (T1) Oak tree situated in the far boundary of the back garden. We have lived in this property for 8 years and have not had the tree trimmed. The branches are becoming pendulous as they are growing downwards. A multitude of branches are touching garden buildings which we would want to be removed alongside the other work. We think the crown of the tree requires trimming and shaping. We are yet to make contact with a tree surgeon - we were hoping to secure initial permission and a list of qualifications we need to ensure the tree surgeon has.
