- Mar 2026Tree WorksTreesIn report
T1) Remove Cypress tree. For re-landscaping purposes, and to alleviate the need for constant reduction beneath the lines. The tree has outgrown its area and is becoming unmanageable. Request to replace with a smaller ornamental/flowering tree which will accommodate the space long term without issue. Not replace like for like due to lack of suitable space to accommodate a large mature tree - too close to the property and historical retaining wall.
