T1/T2 - Remove two mature Leylandii's in the rear garden. Both Leylandii have grown to an excessive height and are now disproportionate to the size of the rear garden. The trees are casting significant shade, reducing natural light to the property and neighbouring gardens. The species is fast-growing and unsuitable for long-term retention in a domestic garden setting. Their density and position restrict healthy growth of surrounding planting and reduce biodiversity value.
