Council sourceShown in the photograph is a plum tree that I am requesting to remove. It is weighted over the neighbouring drive and drops all its fruit onto the drive. The owner isn’t able to harvest as the tree has grown too big and so difficult and unsafe for the owner to manage. There are no suitable growth points to reduce it to at a height where it would be practicable for the owner to manage it themselves. I request that it be fully removed and replaced with a smaller fruit tree so the land owner can manage it themselves.
