Council planning record

T1 Scots Pine - This tree lost a couple of branches during the recent storm. In order to protect the tree we would like to carry out some minor crown thinning by about 20% to reduce wind sail area. T2 Spruce - This tree is approximately 60ft in height and is located quite close to the rear of the property. A fir tree of similar height came down during the recent storms and we are concerned that this tree may also have fallen. It was noted to be swaying much more than normal and when stood on the ground beneath it a small amount of movement could be felt. We would therefore like to reduce the height by approximately 15-20ft.
