    Swamp Cypress Tree at the bottom of our garden. Last cut back with permission in 2020. The tree is very large and overhangs into neighbours gardens - they are complaining about the size and the light it blocks from their gardens. We would like to reduce the crown by 2-3 meters.

    Large Ash in back garden. Needs to be reduced down to how it was in the past (approx by 50-60%) 2-3m - how it was before the house was purchased in 2017. The tree is not covered by a TPO but it is in a conservation area. It is shading the whole garden for no 5, 7 & 9 so it needs to be be cut back to allow light to come through

    TPO760 T50 Mature oak tree has died. We request permission to remove all branches to just leave the main trunk. Over recent years the tree has been progressively later to come into leaf and earlier to lose its' leaves than the adjacent mature oak. This year the tree has not produced any leaves at all. A local tree surgeon, Tom from T's Trees has inspected the tree and does not believe the tree trunk to be hollow. Photo2 shows damage around the trunk, which may be related to the tree's death. This damage was there when the current owners moved in.
