Historic cracks are visible on the neighbouring end wall and have now formed on both the adjacent garage and the boundary wall between the two properties - Fell to near ground level and replant with a Holm Oak to allow screening to be recreated, this species will also require less water during the summer months and can be regularly maintained with ease.
