    T1 Birch Tree - reduced by a minimum of 6-8metres and to pollard the rest of the tree. This tree is getting too big for the environment it is growing in (my garden). There has been an abundance of fallen branches in my garden from this tree, which is a serious trip hazard for myself - being an elderly lady of 81yrs. In addition to this there are a significant amount of birds that sit on the branches, which amounts to a large number of bird droppings covering my patio floor. This is a serious slip hazard for myself being an elderly lady. As well as this, I have young grandchildren who play in my garden and the above matters would also apply to them. I have had a site visit from a tree surgeon who has advised reduction.
