Silver birch (marked 1 on sketch plan) - remove limb closer to the house (left hand limb looking down from the end of the drive towards the garage). This limb is very close to the garage roof and obstructs the inlet for our wood pellet deliveries located on the right hand side of the garage. Wood pellet delivery lorries have scraped that limb of the tree in the past. The same happened during a skip delivery, where the skip was being positioned in front of the right hand garage door

Trim back overhanging Ash branches from the neighbouring land. The land is occupied by an electricity substation and suckers have been allowed to grow out of control in the rough earth surrounding the sub station. The house has recently been occupied and I suspect that the garden has previously been left to grow with little maintenance.
