    FRONT:ONE very Large Pine tree (T1) Ht approx 10m Fell to ground level.REASON: Tree is very large, not a native species. It is leaning a lot, based on the corner of the plot at junction between 66 Southbrook rd & Manor lane, besides the saftey issue, there is the damage to the street paving the roots can cause. Also damage to the garden wall, driveway & also possible structural damage to the house; the tree has just become far too tall. REPLANTING PROPOSAL: We will be happy to plant a new tree along the same boundary wall. We have planted others in the front and back garden already over the years but there is space for one more.We will plant it along the same wall near the existing tree if there is adequate space for it. Alternatively, we can plant one in the back garden.We have not decided what tree to plant and are open to suggestions. There are nice trees that blossom all along Southbrook Road. They do not seem to grow too big to cause damage. So if you know what they're called we can plant one of those.
