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

Proposal

Large Sycamore (TP 088) in the garden of 5 Ostler Drive. Requesting permission to reduce the tree from the Croydon Villas side, specifically the branches overhanging the property of 2 Croydon Villas. I would like to reduce the overhanging canopy back to the boundary line and also lift the canopy by removing at least 3 of the larger lower branches whilst being sympathetic to the shape of the tree. The lower branches have this year (in full leaf) touched our property (2 Croydon Villas) for the first time, specifically our rubber roof. My immediate concern is the rubber being damaged by the branches.
