We wish to remove a conifer tree from the bottom left hand corner of our garden it is sited approximately 8ft from the rear of the garden and approximately 2 ft from the left had border. The tree is approximately . The tree is circa 24ft high and 8 ft wide. Its incongruous with the rest of the garden and its removal would give the adjacent silver birches (2) more space to grow. It would also allow for a small shed to be sited at the rear of the garden. Since we moved into this premises ten years ago we have planted 13 trees in the garden, so whilst its never great to have to remove a tree we have really tried to enhance the environment. We have gained a quote from Acorn Tree Services to complete the work if approved.

Tree 1 Cedrus Deodara It is proposed that routine maintenance of trees as numbered and identified at the above address is carried out by way of crown reduction of between 3-4 metres in height & 1-2 metres in width. In doing so the shape & general health of the trees is to be maintained. Home owner responsibility has identified risk and resulting danger from falling brittle and in some cases dead branches which I would like to address.
