Proposal

1. Two blue Lawson Cypress and small Elder on the side boundary. Fell by sections to near ground level. Coppice the small Elder. 2. Yew tree in the left-hand corner. This tree is also becoming too large and is blocking light to the garden. Fell by sections to near ground level. 3. Elder behind item 2. Pollard to approximately 2m and coppice the smaller Elder to the left. 4. Large multi-stemmed Bay tree. This has become unmanageable and too large for the garden. Coppice to near ground level and allow to regenerate. 5. Yew tree to the right of item (4). This tree has an asymmetric crown due to group pressure and has a poor form. -Fell to near ground level.
