Proposal
Beech Tree - Remove - has damaged wall and cracked part of the pathway, gate cannot close anymore (photos attached). Concerned that the roots could also damage the pipes beneath the ground and the foundation of the building. In addition to this, the tree is now blocking a lot of light to all three flats. Tree surgeon contacted and in their professional opinion the tree needs to be completely removed to resolve the issue
