T1 Small Oak to rear of property; Fell because of close proximity to house and risk of damage to structure of property. T2 Large Oak; 10-20% Crown reduction to limit encroachment towards property. T3 Sycamore to side of property; to be felled with replacement planting. The tree has a notable lean and heavy crown bias towards neighbouring properties. A heavy reduction will not resolve the potential danger this tree poses to neighbouring houses.
