I have a number of trees in my garden - birch trees, hornbeams and acers. I want to be able to prune/thin and lop some of the trees for the trees' health and, where they overhang a neighbour's property, safety. I have had a tree specialist visit and they have advised that I make this application to enable them to carry out the necessary work. None of the trees are subject to preservation orders but wre within a conservation area.
