Approximate location: the centre of the postcode, not the exact property.

Proposal

We are seeking planning to reduce the large yew tree to north of property by 20% all the way around - marked T6 on the attached site map. Works have not been carried out on this tree for at least 5 years and it is now requiring some maintenance to preserve its shape. Whilst we like this tree and appreciate its amenity value, we feel that due to its location overhanging our house, the road, and under the canopy of the large protected London plane tree; it has reached its optimum size. These works, carried out by a professional on a cherry picker, will provide a much tidier, neater and more compact crown, allowing it to not become completely overgrown as it has been previously.
