    15 Birch Grove Kingswood Surrey KT20 6QU

    T1 - Ash - Fell to ground level. The tree is showing clear signs of ash die back on its left hand stem. The tree has already lost a limb years ago, possibly due to ash die back, it is hard to tell. There is also a lot of damage on the lower trunk by the ground level with the bark starting to flake. My client is wanting to put an outhouse in his garden but is worried with the ash being above the planned & approved area. My client has an abundance of trees in the garden so it wouldnt affect the immediate landscape for himself or his neighbours as they all have a number of large trees in their gardens. T2 - Sweet Chestnut - 2.5 metre Canopy reduction. This will improve the health of the chestnut and improve sunlight into my clients garden. T3 - Sweet Chestnut - 2.5 metre Canopy reduction. This will improve the health of the chestnut and improve sunlight into my clients garden.
