Ash (T1) - Remove limbs overhanging boundary to lessen encroachment over buildings. Prunus (T2) - Fell, this is a small tree with little value or future Lawsons Fir (T3) - Fell, this tree has the potential to dominate the site and surrounding trees, not really an appropriate tree for the area. Cedar (T4) - Reduce height by approximately 4m and shape sides to match, this tree is rather exposed and a reduction should lessen likelihood of failure. Indian Bean Tree (T5) - Reduce the leader over the neighbouring property by approximately 2m to lessen likelihood of failure.

The shed would be located within the front garden of the house, in front of the existing detached garage and next to the garage of the neighbouring house (Cherry Tree Cottage).
