After visiting the site, I am recommending the following works as discussed with my client. x1 Willow - Pollard A large percentage of this tree over-hangs the owners boundary fence and partially blocks a public footpath with low hanging branches. It also encroaches into the neighbours garden opposite (which is separated by the path) with branches on their fencing. Due to its size and position, this tree casts a large shadow over the owners garden, blocking a lot of sunlight. The Willow appears to be healthy, but in need of a pollard to reduce its size and re-shape. x1 Walnut - Fell The majority of this tree over-hangs the owners adjacent neighbours property which blocks a lot of sunlight to both properties. The roots from this tree are also damaging the boundary dry stone wall which needs repairing, as well as some fencing. Owner also concerned the tree is drawing a large amount of water from the ground which effects the grassed areas of the garden. Conservation Area 4 Both trees planted by owner some 20 years ago No TPO's present
