    The tree is a mature conifir, I belive it to be a "cupressus Leylandi Goldrider" which has started to lift the driveway into the property and is cauing damage to the old garden wall (a minimum of 144 years old) We wish to remove the tree to negate any further lifting of the driveway and damage to the old garden wall. The tree is not a specimin tree, just a standard conifir.
