View council mapThere are two trees of concern.1 A large magnolia in our front garden which requires pruning as the outer branches are growing into overhead wires, crown reduce by up to 3m2 A very large Beech tree at the back of the garden which also needs pruning. My partner, who has lived here since the 1970?s remembers it last being pruned about 40 years ago. It is casting the back garden in permanent shade. The Beech tree shares the border of 3 properties (number 1, 7 and 9 Park Gates Drive, SK8 7DD).Matthew Thompson (Arborist) has visited the garden and advised that the trees should be crown reduced by up to 3m, crown lifted and thinned by 10%.
