Proposal

Tree is dead and presents an unacceptable risk of failure. T4 Sycamore: Fell to ground level. Tree is dead and presents an unacceptable risk of failure.

Sycamore tree , pruning round the branches into a safer area at the lower level of the tree . Alot of the lower branches are falling down wards and it is extending into my drive way and walking paths on the public side of the walking path.
