Council sourceShown in the first photograph is a Norway Spruce that I am requesting to remove fully. It has been planted far too close to the property and is also next to the drainage system and so request that it be removed before it gets any bigger and starts to damage the property. In the second and third photograph is a leylandii hedge that the tenant has not maintained. I am requesting that we reduce it to the height indicated by the red line on the second photograph so it is more easily maintained in the future. The third shows how far it has overgrown on the chapel terrace side of the hedge, this now blocks the genial and is starting to touch the properties on chapel terrace. I am requesting that it be reduced hard back so that again it can be maintained more easily in the future.
