A lime tree is on the Old Coach Road at the rear of our house (63 Lambourne Drive). We have previously applied and been granted permission to reduce the tree by 20% (16/01579/PTPO _ June 2016). This application is a request for permission to do the same again as it has grown substantially during the time, overhanging our garden, which is very close to the house and significantly reducing the light into the garden and house. Many thanks ?

I wish to remove the cherry tree T1 and silver birch T5 that is leaning towards the road and footpath the other side of a large wall and reduce the remaining trees back to the previous reduction points. During a quote for the work requested the tree surgeon stated that the leaning silver birch could easily fall and could cause serious injury. The trees are too high and have not been reduced for several years. The cherry tree is too big, if permission is not granted to remove the cherry tree then I also request permission to reduce the size to the previous reduction points.
