Council sourceRow of trees to the rear of garden (highlighted in Yellow on sketch plan), pollard all trees to a height of 4 to 5 metres. Tree to the side (highlighted in green on sketch plan), remove low branches up to 4 metres as shown with white circles. Reason: In the summer when the trees are fully grown, they block the light and sun from the plants/vegetation we have in the soil directly under the trees hence we have a lack of quality results. Secondly the number of leaves that fall, ants/ spiders the trees attract it causes a safety hazard when the grandchildren come round and want to pay in the garden. The trees are well overgrown in the summer months. We will not be cutting any trees down altogether. We like the fact this area is in a conservation area, and we get to see the beautiful nature and trees and therefore only want to cut the branches off. Appreciate you looking into this. Thank you
