Application overview
Oak: Removal of new growth. Pigeons fouling lawn and patio plus hedge maintenance. The oak tree is approximately 12 metres in height and approximately 8 metres in width when viewed from my property and looking northwards. I am asking permission to cut back the new growth, on the southerly side of the tree, which overhangs the boundary fence, by between 600mm and 900mm depending on individual twig growth and hedge back to the previous position. This action will not impact on either the height nor width profile of the tree when viewed looking north.Leylandii: Reduce new growth back to property boundary. Hedging work required to control growth and maintain shape
