Tree is located at the end of our rear garden neighbours garden. The tree is at the end of their garden and overhangs by greatly into our garden. It blocks a lot of natural light at the rear of garden and sheds a lot of leaves in our garden. We would like to trim the tree back slightly to make it more controlled and manageable for us. This will include crown lifting and crown reduction. Note: we bought our house this summer and were notified of the tree having a TPO but were not provided any other details of the tree. Tree is not shown on the interactive map as TPO.
