Trees in a Conservation Area: T1 - Acer Platanoides - Reduce limbs on one side of tree overhanging neighbouring property by up to 2 metres; T2 - Aesculus Hippocastanum - Remove limbs on one side of tree overhanging neighbouring property's roof. The tree is multi-stemmed and one of the stems is right on the boundary line, therefore it would not be possible to reduce these limbs enough to have enough of an impact while still leaving suitable growth on.
