  Rear garden (Top of steps near driveway) T1 - Lawson's cypress by steps - remove to as close to ground level as possible. Holly saplings adjacent and under canopy of Lawsons cypress, remove to as close to ground level as possible. T2 - Small Holly near house - remove to as close to ground level as possible. G3 - Holly group adjacent road - reduce in height by approx 2m and shape sides to match. T1 & T2 removals are part of on-going tree management. The holly is too close to the house and providing unwanted shade. T1 is atop of a small retaining wall, adjacent electrical wire and has previously been topped. Tree is of poor quality and located within a poor location and likely to cause future damage to structures. G3 - To be ongoing managed as a hedge to block the adjacent road noise and lights.
