Council source1. Fig tree - remove to allow repair of the wall adjacent to Cannon Lane which has been damaged by fig tree and is starting to lean into the road, left unrepaired in time this will lead to collapse of the wall. Roots from the tree already go through the wall. 2. Laurel bush - remove as it is too close to the house and damaging the paving/brick retaining walls. 3. Collcetion of Conifers - remove to make safe. In the very corner is a Hawthorn which is self seeded and has grown deformed and over hung into the space available and will need to be removed. 4. Cedar - Remove as close to the Anexe building/Garage. Tree in poor condition and is a risk to the buildings. Seems to be struggling and is showing excessive die back for this kind of tree.
