A) To re-shape the evergreen bushes (Thuja) and reduce their height by 1-2 metres. The Thuja closer to the house is currently 500cm high and 400cm wide. The Thuja further away from the house is currently 600cm high and 400cm wide. We wish to take 200cm off the height and 160cm off the width of both of these Thuja. B) reduce the height of the entire hedge-line to 3-4 metres. We would like to take out the Thuja trees in the top third of the hedge-line (marked as B2, see Photo 4). Reduce the width of the Thuja in B1 to 150cm from stem. C) reduce the height to 500cm; to cut away vertically on the neighbours side of the property back to 30cm from the stem so that going vertically from the neighbours fence, nothing hangs over into their property and to reduce the spread from the stem on the other three sides to 150cm. The Thuja closer to our house (paler green, in the area marked C on the overview) consists of two trees. We propose reducing the height to 300cm; and to take off a maximum of 30cm from the spread. D) To remove the stand-alone Thuja tree (marked as D) in our front garden as it blocks the light from the front bedroom. The tree was overgrown with ivy, and following removal of the ivy, the underlying branches have been revealed to have died off. The shrub/tree now looks very unattractive, in addition to its blocking light. The Thuja next to it would just be reshaped to return it to a tidy appearance. See Photo 12
