Havering Tree Preservation Order 14/92 - oak tree at the rear of 521 Mawney Road, Romford. I would like to apply to reduce the height of the tree and trim the branches that are overhanging my garden back towards the owners property. The reason for this is the tree almost fully covers my garden and branches are constantly falling down and hitting my young children. They are now in constant fear that something will fall on them and no longer enjoy the use of our garden. The tree has not been trimmed for many years now and is almost touching our house. It also blocks out a lot of the sun hence depriving us of natural sunlight.
