Council planning record

Approximately 14 yew trees on the east aspect of the driveway that I am requesting to reduce the width on. Because up until recently the driveway was deprived of sunlight the majority of the growth and subsequent weight has developed on the east side of the trees and has started to drag them over and through the retaining wall. I request to reduce the width of these trees by approximately 50% to reduce the load and hopefully now there is more light on the driveway the trees should gradually correct themselves and prevent them from failing.
