View council mapRemoval of one Leylandii, which is the central one of a bank of 3 (Tree 2* on the sketch plan), located at the rear of the property. The trees were planted very close together, and as they have matured, this has resulted in overcrowding and affected the healthy growth of them. I am only seeking approval to remove the central tree, at this time. None of the trees can be seen from the road.
