    Tree Preservation Order EL:258 - Reduce hornbeams screen by 3m and shape. Cut back neighbouring side to match works on garden side. This application is exactly in line with all previous applications to purely maintain these healthy trees. Neighbour at no.14 has just had his trees cut back to enable more light to enter the garden and maintain a healthy level for the protected trees- this is the same kind of application as has been done on many occasions over the years.
