There are 2 large copper beech trees covered by the TPO. We had permission to carry out remedial work and reduce shading to our garden some years ago, but this has lapsed. Some of the branches have now become dangerous. We found a large branch in our garden this morning. We urgently need permission to have both trees inspected by a tree surgeon and any remedial work done. In the intervening years the shading has returned and we would also like to prune back some of the lower boughs again. T1 - Remove all dead branches, remove low hanging side growth and one single bough. T2 - Remove all dead branches and low hanging side growth.
