    Birch tree in front garden is now leaning over the property and there is concern that high winds may bring down the tree and damage the property. The tree is also showing signs of die back and fungal growth. It is proposed to cut the tree to the stump, remove all debris and plant a native mixed hedge across the width of the garden instead. A similar tree has been removed in the same way from the neighbouring house.
