    Large sycamore tree overhangs my garden (but it situated in someone else's). Covers garden in dark sticky sap and completely blocks sun from my south facing garden. Advised by tree surgeon to significantly reduce as it will double in size so quickly. Would like to remove and have tried to contact neighbours to no avail so am applying to thin and lift the crown significantly (on advice of a tree surgeon)

    2 Spencer Park SW18 2SX

    T1 Mimosa (x1) Fell to ground level. Reason: The tree has become excessively large for the location. It is suppressing smaller adjacent trees. The trunk is also pressing against the boundary wall with No.59 Spencer Park and is likely to cause damage if retained. T2 + T3 Himalayan Birch (x2) Crown lift by 1.5m. Reason: To allow more light to the plants below. T4 Cherry (x1) Reduce crown by 1.5m. Reason: To redress the balance as supressed by the Birches. T5 Paulownia (x1) Crown lift by 1.5m. Reason: To allow more light to the plants below.
