Description

My (4 South Hill) next door neighbours (5 South Hill) Ash tree canope needs to be reduced. It is growing far too low over my liquid gas tank and my gas supplier has said that the branches need to be 20ft above my tank because of the fire risk. They can refuse to deliver gas to me. My neighbour, (5 South Hill) has agreed to give the tree surgeon access to his tree, in order to prune the common Ash, lower canopy, from over the gas storage, to give the required safety clearance.
