Our tree surgeon has suggested that the trees listed below are sufficiently diseased or damaged so as to pose a threat to the safety of the occupants of the next door property. We would like permission to carry out the works. The trees are located in a woodland. They are marked with orange tree paint. 0) Willow - Remove tree which is leaning over dramatically into the neighbouring property. 1) Willow - Remove tree which is leaning over dramatically into the neighbouring property. 2) Ash - Remove of tall, twin stemmed tree which is showing signs of ash die back positioned in-between the 2 leaning willow trees. 3) Silver Birch - Remove tree which is dramatically leaning over into the neighbouring property and also leaning right over one of the willow trees which is also recommended to be removed. 4) Ash - Remove tall, skinny tree leaning over neighbouring property positioned next to the same willow tree. 5) Birch - Remove small ivy coved tree which has the top snapped out on it. 6) Oak - Remove large tree with a split in the main stem.

Removal is recommended to prevent future risk.
