View council mapWe wish to remove a conifer tree from the bottom left hand corner of our garden it is sited approximately 8ft from the rear of the garden and approximately 2 ft from the left had border. The tree is approximately . The tree is circa 24ft high and 8 ft wide. Its incongruous with the rest of the garden and its removal would give the adjacent silver birches (2) more space to grow. It would also allow for a small shed to be sited at the rear of the garden. Since we moved into this premises ten years ago we have planted 13 trees in the garden, so whilst its never great to have to remove a tree we have really tried to enhance the environment. We have gained a quote from Acorn Tree Services to complete the work if approved.
