    Notification of intent to Fell No. 1 Tree within a Conservation Area. T1 - Holly tree approx same height as our 2-storey house ( roughly 8 metres). It is situated close to the house, so restricts light into both our living room and our bedroom. It also deposits spiky holly leaves all over the garden, and the adjoining road. The bottom of the trunk is 1metre circumference. It then splits off into x2 separate trunks, which are 45cm circumference each. We would like to take the tree down, and plant a herb garden instead. We would like to do this work in the autumn, and have a tree surgeon available.
