    Upon receipt of arboricultural advice we wish to apply for the safe removal of the following trees on our property: Pine Tree (T1) - Multiple trunks from mid-height due to storm damage years ago has rendered the tree potentially unstable. Tree is less than 5 metres from front corner of house so presents a danger, is affecting the property and is also blocking light. Fir Tree (T2) - Growth is at top of tree and is blocking light from the property.

    22/00170/TPO Submitted 26 Jan 2022 100 yards away

    T1 Macrocarpa. Fell. Remedial works have recently been undertaken to the septic tank at the above address which is situated approximately 1.5m from the stem of T1. During the commencement of these works multiple roots of significant size have been found to have damaged the septic tank and their removal is required in order for the works to continue. Due to the size of the roots in question (greater than 3 inches diameter), the size of the tree and the proximity of these roots to the main stem, root pruning in order to retain the tree is not deemed to be appropriate.
