The tree is a weeping willow located approximately 10m away from 3 homes. The current age is approximately 15 years old and has significantly increased in size within the last year. Currently the tree stands at (approximately) 12-15m.I have ascertained advice and a quotation from a registered and insured tree company, whom recommended to reduce the crown of the tree by approximately 50%.The nature of this tree is detrimental to our home and neighbours with the tree creating a likelihood of foundation issues and subsidence due to the amount of water required and root span.It?s a beautiful tree and I would not request such action if the species of tree was not so problematic. It should not have been planted originally in my opinion.I hope this is a satisfactory reason my requested actions.
