Proposal
Fell 6 Leylandi, Fell 2 Holly and Crown reduction of 1 no acer by 1-2m in Farnham conservation area. I need to send this in an email The 6 inherited Leylandi are causing serious lack of light in our garden and the neighbours gardens of which we have received numerous complaints of lack of light and heavy branches falling off, therefore we wish to remove them.
