Prune one ornamental, variegated Holly Illex aquifolium in back garden next to shed. Tree has two trunks, diameters at one metre 17cm and 13cm. Overall height of tree is about 6.5m.We would like to reduce height by about one third and trim sides.The Holly is getting rather large for its position and shading bog garden and pond.We are not certain if we need to submit planning application for this relatively small tree.
