Tudor Cottage High Street Chieveley Newbury RG20 8UX
Awaiting decision

Description
There are three lime trees on my driveway. I would like to re-pollard the tree nearest the house (marked as 'Lime Tree 3' on the sketch plan) back to previous pollard points. Our cars are parked near this tree. The branches now overhang the cars and cover them in sap in the summer which attracts large numbers of wasps onto the cars (we've counted over 50 on many occasions). Repollarding will remove the likelihood of getting stung by wasps as we get in and out of the cars.
