Works: Trees

Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.

Laterally reduce by 3 metres, leaving the tree 10 metres in width. Tree is blocking natural sunlight coming through the windows, touching building, blocking the gutters and growing far to large for the area. Tree is situated by the car park.
