The resident has been in touch with both the local authority and our company and originally asked to have the below listed trees removed but has been advised that removal is not an option. Therefore, we are requesting the below reductions on her behalf. 1. large ash in the rear garden of the above named property. We have visited the customer and have been asked to crown reduce the ash by 4 meters. Further to site visit made by LBH it was agreed that for safety reasons a reduction is in the interest of the tree and resident. 2. large plane on the road boundary could be crown reduced by 4 meters. The resident requests this reduction in the interest of the long term management of tree. 3. alongside the plane there are two conifers and a holly that the customer would like crown lifted. This will hugely improve the sight line when exiting the drive.
