Proposal

As this tree drops large quantities of Birch pollen which is exacerbating the asthma symptoms of our client at No.167 (see doctors note enclosed) the following pruning works have been recommend. - Reduce overhanging branches only by approx. 1.5 - 2m back towards the boundary line. Current height - 8m Current radial spread 4m Proposed height - 8m Proposed radial spread 2m
