Council milestones and published deadlines. A deadline passing does not confirm a decision.
T1 Mulberry (Morus spp.) - Remove lowest branch back to main stem, raise canopy by 2-4ft to lift off the border and allow more light and air in and deadwood as much as possible. T2 Bay (Laurus nobilis) growing against boundary with no.8 - reduce down to wall height (by 5 metres from 7m to 2 metres) to open the view up, reduce shading and the sense of enclosure that defines it in its current form. T3 Blue cedar (Cedrus Atlantica) - raise canopy to give up to 2 metres clearance off the Wisteria (growing on the boundary wall below), reduce the radial spread by 2 to 3 metres (from 6 metres to 4 metres in the Northerly direction only) to prevent needle and pollen-drop onto the glass sun room extension of the main property. T4 Willow-leaved pear (Pyrus salicifolia) - reduce canopy in all directions (by up to 1 metre from 3 metres to 2 metres) and shape into a nice compact form Thin by removing dead, crossing and rubbing branches where necessary.
