  T1, T2, T3 - Silver Birch Trees - Fell make it very awkward to get out of vehicle and trailers on to and off our driveway without causing significant inconvenience to other road users. T4, T5 - Ash trees - Fell - they are showing significant signs of Ash Die Back. They are growing through overhead cables. Should these trees come down in the wind due to their condition they would cause significant disruption to neighbouring properties utility supplies. Also very close to the carriageway and therefore they would put members of the public at danger if they came down. We propose to replant 3 English Oak and 2 Ash Trees within our 2.5 acre garden.
