69 Hemingford Road Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB1 3BY
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.
