    Lime Trees x 12 - re-pollard to historic pollard height at approx. 4-5 metres. At their current height the trees cause excessive shade, encroach on the property and are oppressive in a moderately sized urban garden. Reducing the height would allow us to retain the environmental benefits whilst allowing reasonable and viable future management
