T1 - Oak crown lift to approximately 5 m to clear highway and property roof, lateral crown reduction by 2m on the north and east conopy to provide clearance of adjacent properties

Oak T1 - The oak is overhanging my neighbours' roof and guttering. The lower branches are impeding their enjoyment of their front garden and also access of my husband's large van to our driveway. It also hangs over the public highway and pavement for pedestrians. Branches tend to break off in high winds and I am concerned that young children play out in the cul-de-sac. I have spoken to an arborist and would like to apply for a 15-20% crown reduction to take the overhang back from my neighbours' house, a light thin, removal of dead and/or dangerous branches and a crown lift of, probably, 3 mtrs to allow van access to our driveway and so that our neighbours can fully enjoy their front garden and that pedestrians are not inconvenienced on the public footpath. The arborist said he would rebalance the tree to retain its aesthetic.

Permission to remove one lower branch from an Ash tree as it is now encroaching on the house and resting on roof and guttering when in full leaf.
