| Description: Reduction by 1/3 of Silver Birch Crown and Crown thinning required due to the tree now being approx20M tall and shading all neighbouring nearby smaller trees as shown on the attached sketch aswell as impacting all neighbours daylight. Having spoken to all affected neighbours all have agreed that it needs to be reduced as much as possible please. Many of my neighbours will be contributing to the overall cost for this work to be undertaken as i cannot afford this by myself. The height of this tree now also presents myself and my neighbours with a hazard risk should we have any severe storms in the near future. Should the ree ever come down it could cause significant damage to property.silver birch.20250818_194733_resized.pdf (402 kb) | Not published | View |
