    The tree roots from the 2no. identified Leylandi trees in drawings "1. Aerial photograph with plan location of specified trees" marked with yellow circles with a red ring around them and marked as 1 & 2. The root system of these 2no. trees has been allowed to grow unchecked over many years and this has resulted in the disturbance of the ground and fence posts in this area. One of these trees appears to have also damaged part of a tarmac driveway within the adjacent neighbour's property, although as yet no investigative report has been providing by the neighbour to demonstrate that this is indeed the cause. I am looking to trim back the roots of the specified trees to the fence line to avoid further damage.

    T1 - Sycamore Tree, The tree contains major dead branches and limbs and there fore needs a pollard back down to live wood, 6.1 meters which would give the tree a chance to promote new healthy growth so that the tree can re generate. If this dead limbs are not taken out they run the risk of failing and braking off and causing damage to neighbouring properties out buildings.
