- Nov 2021Tree WorksTreesIn report
T1 Ash: Reduction by 2.5 metres away from the house towards the boundary wall to pre-empt any future damage. The tree overlaps the house roof and in wind and rain the branches bend sufficiently to touch. It is also very close to the gable wall of the house. T2 Elm: Removal of overhanging lower branch and side twig to reduce shading of day light and street lamp. T3 Elm: Reduction to boundary of small overhanging trunk of bifurcated secondary stand to reduce shading of day light and street lamp. T4 Yew: Reduce lateral growth to appropriate growth growth points closer to the boundary to reduce shading of day light and street lamp. T5 Elm: Reduce lower lateral growth to the boundary as it shades out both the streetlamp and day light.
