Church Cottage Wood Lane Cadeby Nuneaton Leicestershire CV13 0AU
Sycamore (T2) Raise canopy to approx. 6m to south only whilst retaining a natural canopy form. Reason: Allow light to rear garden under the canopy and above the roof of the property behind. So plants have more chance of growing / enjoyment of property. As the tree has increased in size the impact on light to adjecent properties has increased, thus requiring some pruning to keep a good balance.
