Tree A - Cedar: Requesting crown reduction of up to 30%. The proposed finished measurements would be for the width of the tree to be 7m and height 12m. Branches are in close proximity to the roof of house and gutters which could be a potential risk of damage to the property, loss of light to one of the rooms in the property and general maintenance to ensure long term health and safety of the tree.
