T1 - Whitebeam - This tree is showing signs of decline (loose and fissured bark with dead branches present in canopy). With its proximity to the road, footpath and phonelines we are applying for its removal.T2 - Cedar - Crown raise to approx 3.5m and reduce 1 x limb extending over adjacent property and 1 x large limb extending over driveway to a suitable drop crotch / growth point.T3, T4 and T5 - Cypress - These appear to be a lapsed hedge along the boundary between 21 Cobbs brow and the adjacent property. We feel that they are crowding the Cedar and Hawthorn (Hawthorn not included in this application) and are outgrowing their position. We would like to reduce the height (see photograph 'Cedar and Cypress w. line').
