View council mapBecause of the extreme height of the tree and being situated on a bank at the rear of my garden I am requesting 50% trimming of height after visit from a tree surgeon.It is an Oak tree with 3 large branches off the trunk.The area on the bank has very strong winds and very concerned as it has grown a lot since the 5 years I have been here and seems much higher than neighbouring trees. If it fell would land on my conservatory and probably roof of the house. I am happy for you to come and view it.reduction of 3 branches from main crown to 50% above ground level, to provide sufficient clearance to property.
