Branches grow out into the neighbours parking area causing scratch damage to his vehicles. Intention: fell to ground level. T3 - Silver Birch - Lower branches catch the neighbours shed roof risking damage, some gutter blockage caused. Tree shades neighbours garden. Intention: crown clean to remove dead and crossing branches, thin crown 25% to allow light for neighbour, and raise crown to 5m to clear neighbours shed.
