  Oak tree to the rear of 8 Clay Close. We wish to remove branches overhanging our property boundary by approx 8m. The tree is not maintained by the land owner and severely encroaches onto our property, shutting out daylight. In autumn, our garden is covered with large amounts of leaf detritus, making our patio slippery and dangerous underfoot. Previous application was approved under 19/01512/TPW
