Council planning record

T1 willow, mature weeping willow located in the rear garden overhanging a tennis court and garden. This tree has extremely low live crown ratio of around 5% live. We propose to reduce this down to create a pollard at around 5 metres and if it doesn't live it would be left as a trunk for nature to take its course and home wildlife.
