To fell 2 ash trees to ground level. To trim a Yew tree and pollard a Magnolia. TRIM YEW TREE: The three was reduced in height a couple of years ago and now needs a trim to keep it in shape. No more than a few inches will be removed to achieve this. This probably doesn???t need planning permission. POLLARD MAGNOLIA: Pollard the Magnolia to about 2.5 metres and create a much smaller bush. FELL ASH TREES: To fell 2 ash trees. The main one is overhanging a garage roof to No 8 and a glass rooved extension to No 4 Watling Street. The second one is growing up alongside a brick outhouse to No 4 Watling Street and starting to push it over (see photos).
