View council mapT1&2- There are two tall conifers located to the rear of the property in a South Easterly direction. The client proposes the felling of these to allow more light into the garden and reduce the competition between trees within the property. The current height of T1 is approximately 16.9m and T2 17.2m. They are both approximately 4m wide. T3- A small self seeded ash (fraxinus excelsior) approximately 16m high and 2m wide stands next to T2 and the client would like this felled also. As it has competed for light it has grown tall and thin, at an angle.
