Cypress Tree - Remove We purchased the house one year ago and have noticed that the tree has shifted considerably over the past year -- particularly after the past week of heavy rains and wind. We are very concerned that the tree will continue to shift and fall over and damage the front fences and cars from 5 to 7 Eltisley Avenue.

T1 - Cherry tree - Reduce crown by about 3m, or, if this is not possible reduce the crown where it overhangs 67 Hemingford Road by a similar amount. Reason - This would reduce the overshadowing of the roof of 67 Hemingford Road and also prevent branches impinging on telephone wires connecting to 65 Hemingford Road.
