  Tree description T1. A Sycamore tree approximately 15m in height, situated in a central location on the bottom boundary of the rear garden. The tree is very dense, low growing, and wide spreading. T2. A Spruce tree approximately 16m in height, situated close to the bottom right-hand corner of the rear garden. T3. A Bay tree approximately 10m in height, situated to the front of the Spruce (T2) on the right-hand side boundary of the rear garden. The tree is very dense.

Low growing snag end branches should be removed by pruning at the main trunk, together with all dead. T3. Remove together with roots grubbed out where possible.
