T1 - Lime: Remove limb over gate entrance. The proposed works would not reduce the amenity value of the tree and will allow sustainable tree management in the long term. Its proximity to the property is causing anxiety and apprehension to the occupier/residents. The subject branch is over an entrance gate and pigeon mess is accumulating around the gateway causing a health and safety concern.
