Fell T1 Field Maple and grind out stump. This young self set tree is becoming too large for its position. It is too close to both houses (no.3 & no.3A), the boundary fence and adjacent patios. It is starting to give cause for concern especially with regard to damage to the fence, drains and paved areas Plan to replant with a smaller tree (eg.Prunus Serrula) further away from fence, buildings and paving.
