Proposal

T2- Sycamore: All branches overhanging the south-facing property boundary of Loxdale English Centre are to be reduced by approximatly 2-3m back to suitable growth points. T3- Holm Oak: All branches overhanging the south-facing property boundary of Loxdale English Centre are to be reduced by approximatly 2-3m back to suitable growth points. Reason for work: Branches from these trees currently overhang the sports hall roof, which is due for repair. The pruning works are required to allow safe access for scaffolding and roof repairs.
