Application overview
T1 Copper Beech - thin throughout crown by 25% to allow more light into adjacent property and to help alleviate potential windsail effect which could damage nearby properties and garage underneath treeT2 Wych Elm - pollard at 3.5m as the tree is leaning considerably. It is resting upon adjacent Spruce and Horse Chestnut and has the potential to cause limb failure due to rubbing and complete failure due to extreme lean. This is of great concern given the close proximity of the house
