Fell to ground level 1 x self-seeded sycamore situated on the boundary which is causing shading and over-sailing the neighbours property. request from Mr Pranklin (Neigbour) to prune the tree and as it is poorly sited & of low amenity value the suggestion is to fell to ground level. We will as per BT policy plant 2 trees as a replacement on this or nearby suitable BT owned land.
