I am seeking permission to conduct tree work on two roadside chestnut trees. The tree to the east has previously been pollarded and I would like to pollard is back to approx 8 feet. The tree to the west is a large mature tree that has several heavy boughs. One bough overhangs the driveway of the house, also presenting a potential danger to pedestrians and road users. Another hangs towards the house, close to service cables. I would like to preserve the tree, while reducing its encroachment on the house and the potential danger it presents, especially as it gets older. My proposal is to reduce the volume of the tree by approximately half in two equal stages of work - one now and one in two years time. This would leave the main trunk intact, while taking the body of the tree down to 25ft in height.
