Within the group of trees labeled G7 on TPO 25/03/SC, we would like the lower bough of a tall pine tree to be removed and the 2nd bough to be trimmed by 3 meters as the tree is currently lopsided. The boughs stand over our drive and have dropped dead branches during episodes of high winds. Please note that the proposed work would have no visual impact from Huntingdon Road.
