We have a group of trees outside our house in the front garden. The tree nearest to our house is a Sycamore and the upper branches are now very close to our house. One branch is nearly touching the bathroom window. We have concerns that the roots may be spreading and compromising the house structure. We wish to prune the branches of concern back to a safer length. We applied for permission in 2016 to prune the same tree (reference CA7326) and received planning permission to do so, we intend to use a qualified tree surgeon for this work.
