Council planning record

We would like to cut back two very large walnut trees, reducing the crowns of both by about 20 per cent, and taking out some branches that are growing low and impeding passage of cars in the driveway. These were last done about five years ago. We are also seeking permission to reduce the crown of an alder tree that has grown to about 20 metres and the crown of a cherry tree that is now about 30 metres. These two trees are overshadowing the garden and having a negative effect on a new apple tree that we planted several years ago.
