Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
Amended spec 1. (T1) Reduce height of 2 bay trees at front of property from around 6 metres to 2 metres and help with neighbours' light. There is a bay hedge where these two trees have grown much higher. This will bring the bays in line with the rest of the hedge. 2. (T2) Tidy up lower-level branches (only branches below 2.5m) of 1 large tree at front of property that is also encroaching on pavement 3. (T3) Cut down and remove unidentified (possibly Magnolia) dead tree at rear of property (approx 5 metres high)
