14 Abbots Park Chester Cheshire CH1 4AN
Oak to be felled because it has outgrown the garden, excessive shading to garden and conservatory and it is extremely close to the neighbours greenhouse. Large sections of branches have fallen dangerously close to neighbours and their structures in the high winds experienced recently. Concerned that this could potentially be a serious health and safety risk to neighbours and their property. Can replace the tree with a species more in keeping with the small garden if required.
