T1- Holly: Reduce in height by 2m to prevent further growth into Ash, tree and maintain the tree at a suitable size for the garden. T2- Holly: Fell to ground level. The tree has become too large for the garden given the number of other trees in close proximity, and has made the corner of the garden very crowded. It also has some dieback in the canopy. T3- Laurel: Permission to reduce in height by 3-4m and width by 1-2m so as to maintain at an appropriate size for it's species before it becomes too big for it's surroundings.
