    Removal of an elm tree just on our side of a boundary with our neighbouring property Castle Firs. Olivers tree services got agreement for removal of this tree 5 years ago, but this was not carried out at the time. The tree is outside our kitchen windows and has grown further. It is also now leaning more towards the house, with upper branches overhanging the roof of the house. We are worried about it damaging the house and therefore wish to have it removed.
