    Decision due ~26 Oct

    G1 - Row of 5x Mature Beech Trees Work: Raise canopy to 6m. Reduce spread by 3m to either side. Thin canopy by 20%. Reason: As the trees continue to mature their spread increases and dominates the gardens to either side. It is considered preferable for the trees health to minimise work to height and rather manage width, density and canopy height to reduce impact on garden.
