This is a Eucalyptus gunnii (Cider Gum). Since we purchased the house 6 years ago this tree has gone from standing vertical to leaning at an alarming angle. It's roots can also be seen to be lifting in strong winds. We would please like to ask permission to take this tree down.

The new window will closely match the existing window in appearance.The works are limited to improving fire safety while minimising any impact on the character of the listed building.
