Image 1 shows an oak tree branch from number 22 hanging over our decking. When in bloom, not only does it block sunlight to the trees on our property, but it also prohibits the full use of our decking area. We are asking to remove this branch. Image 1 also shows the dead tree leaning against it. We are unsure of the species. We are asking to remove this tree which is currently pushing on the branch. Image 2 shows the overhanging branch of an oak tree in our garden (number 23). When in bloom it also blocks sunlight to the area below where we wish to plant new species/a variety of bushes and flowering plants. Removing the branch would enable adequate sunlight to them. The branch in Image 2 also prohibits the full use of our decking area when in full bloom. Map 1 shows the trees in question.
