Outcome in report
Oak tree to be felled because of excessive shading and low amenity value. Had to replace the decking area at the back due to it being rotten because it cant dry out because of the shading. Gutters are always getting blocked when tree starts to drop its leaves. Nothing will be replanted in place of this because of the location.
