We have 7 very large conifers running along one side of our back garden at around 5/6 metres in height. The middle one has died, all foliage is completely brown so we'd like to remove this tree fully. The others 6 are growing out of scale to the size of our garden. We recently removed all branches up to the height of our boundary fence, under a separate planning applicaction, however now wish to trim the height of the trees by about 1 metre and the width of the remaining branches so the foliage willl thicken and create more of a hedge look. We will then continue to maintain the tree at this size. None of these trees can be seen from the road.
