Council sourceThe three conifers are two thirds of the way down a long narrow garden. They have completely outgrown the space and dominate the whole garden. Two of them overhang the neighbours and so could not be pruned on our side only without making them appear lopsided. We propose to remove those two (1 and 3 on the attached plan) and will reduce the crown on the third (2 on plan) so that it is less dominant. Two apple trees at the near end (5 on plan) and middle (4 on plan) of the garden are to have their crowns thinned.
