Description

Silver Birch T6 - removal and replacement with an Iford Cherry tree. The tree was planted as part of the original development, approximately 30 years ago as 1 or 3 "small trees". It is located directly over the septic tank and main drainage routes from the house. It is located too close to the garage/flat and is causing shading and loss of light. It shades the PV's to the main house in the afternoon. It has grown too large for its original purpose. It cannot be topped or crown reduced as the branch shape will continue to grow upwards. We wish to have it felled and replaced with an Iford cherry tree in the same location, which is a more suitable size and shape for the site
