- Aug 2020Tree WorksTreesHave No Objection To
Removal of two trees from garden and reduction of branches from trees overhanging the side of the property. T1 Hornbeam to fell (due to grows through phone wires, evidence that the concrete drive in the next door property is starting to be affected by the roots from this tree and there is also a drain close to the tree roots. Subject to removal consent, I would plan to replace it with a small tree more appropriate to this location.)T2 Sycamore to fell (due to grows quickly and is blocking the light to the property at the rear and significantly overhangs the next door property). (NOTE trees out side the property boundary have no statutory protection)
