    Dove House 14 Valley Road Weston By Welland LE16 8HZ

    T1- silver birch has outgrown its location and is causing nuisance through shading, leaf litter and potential impacts on a neighbouring garden wall. It is therefore proposed to reduce the tree to a 3m monolith, retaining the lower stem as a deadwood habitat feature T2- holm oak has become too large for its setting, creating excessive shade and encroaching into the crown of the adjacent mature ash tree. It is proposed to reduce and shape the tree to 4m in height and maintain it at this size through regular pruning
