The two trees in question are a conifer and a Ash tree. Both trees can be seen in the two pictures attached.Both trees are:Significantly overhanging into my propertyblocking light into my property, andMost of all causing a H&S risk ref the scaffolding (this is visible in the picture)I would like to reduce the overhanging branches (ref the Ash Tree) to a suitable lateral branch off the property.
