    Apple tree: This is old and in poor condition - if it fell there would be considerable damage to adjacent properties. It dominates the tiny garden, and we wish to remove it to allow more light into the garden, so we can grow a wider range of plants. We will arrange to have it felled by an arborist once permission is granted.
