Council planning record

In our garden we have a scotch fir that has grown to a height of over 15m (not accurate assumption) and is beginning to lean over. As it is in our garden we am concerned that with the height and the leaning it may become dangerous and if it did fall it could damage my property or the public. We therefore would like permission to remove. Although, we believe, we are in a conservation area we have not been informed that it has a conservation order (we planted the tree ourselves approximately 25 years ago)We also have a willow that we plant approximately 5 years ago which has grown more rapidly that expected and wish to reduce the height by approximately 50% and reshape which will allows us to maintain easier.
