View council mapPlease see "park-house-tree-info.pdf" document for more details.Tree #1 - Is a large tree (~15m tall), which borders the road 'Flash Lane' but resides within the boundary of Park House. This request is to either (A) Fell the tree completely, or (B) Significantly cut back the branches that are growing over the driveway towards the house. The main reason is the tree isn't in good health and a lot of the branches fall off onto the driveway / road, and are at risk of damaging cars / property.Tree #2 - Is a small tree (~3m tall) which is in the rear garden of Park House. This request is to be able to fell said tree, in order to create more light and space to be able to extend the lawn of the rear garden towards the shed and property boundary.
