Application overview
East Molesey Kent Town Conservation Area - There are a number of trees in my garden, and one of them, a lime tree, is getting rather big. I would like to cut this one. On the photo it is the first tree on the left There are smaller new trees growing near by ( a birch tree, a maple, and a conifer) that would benefit from having more space. There is also a large oak tree.
