Description
Holly tree located in the centre of the rear garden ??? proposed removal. The tree has grown to a size that significantly restricts natural daylight to the house and garden. The dense evergreen canopy creates extensive shade throughout the year, resulting in poor grass growth, persistent moss, and ground conditions that remain damp for prolonged periods. The lack of sunlight has adversely affected the use and maintenance of the garden. The tree is also heavily covered in ivy, which makes it difficult to properly inspect its condition and raises concerns regarding its ongoing health, structural integrity, and future management. We therefore seek consent to remove the entire tree. The removal of the tree would improve natural light levels to the property and garden, allow the ground to dry more effectively, and reduce the persistent moss growth caused by the heavily shaded conditions. We will gladly replace the garden with more manageable plants and smaller trees. Thank you
