Council source2/TPO/00544 - T1 and T2, we wish to reduce the oaks by 1.5-2m over the circumference of the whole canopy to allow more light to pass beneath the canopy allowing more light to the road and drive entrance, reducing the risk of failure causing damage or injury to pedestrians or the buildings below. We wish to reduce the height by 1m to help retain a natural shape and a more desirable size as the tree is situated above the house and windows
