Greencroft House Sidmouth Road Colyton EX24 6NP
T1: Cypress - removal. Removal of t1 due to its proximity to client owned and neighbouring structures and primarily its close proximity to the dividing wall. T1 will begin to cause damage to the wall and neighbouring garage immediately behind, with no options to mitigate this and retain the tree, as well as being an inappropriate species of tree with very limited pruning options in an inappropriate location, therefore removal is required. Client is planting four replacement trees this planting season consisting of Hawthorn, Cherry and Rowan.
