Remove tree branches to allow Calor Gas tank to be replaced. The tree is located at approximately what3words ///honestly.flippers.cabin. It is one multi-stemmed Willow and would need about 60% of the stems, the ones that are growing laterally, removed back beyond the fence and a light trim on the vertical stem. As per photo provided.
