The cedar is the only tree at the front of the property at the address (7 Newfield Road, Hagley, DY9 0JP). Some limbs of the tree cross the path of the telephone line to the property next door. I am concerned that windy weather may cause the limbs to bring down the telephone line. Therefore, I would like the spread of the tree to be limited and also the height. There is also evidence that the roots of the tree are starting to undermine the drive in two places. I contacted BDC and received confirmation of the existence of a TPO on the tree from Tarek Ball on 26 September 2022. I have consulted a tree surgeon, James Green of Green Tree Care Limited (Tel: 01384 359446 Mob: 07779 800717), who has advised me on the proposed works.
