Application overview
1no. Oak (T1, originates from land behind rear boundary) - Crown reduction by up to 3.5 - 4m in height & prune back laterals overhanging the garden by up to 3m. No cut to exceed 100mm. A number of branches have fallen into garden over time (some quite significant in size) this represents a significant risk to people using the garden. The branches that fall are often dead, suggesting the health of the tree may be in question in parts.
