Felling of three small trees (T2, T3, T4) to the front aspect of house and removal of one dead tree trunk (T5). These trees are causing damage to external wall (fronting Victoria Road). The wall has become unstable and is a safety risk. The trees offer very low amenity value and we will replant with small shrubs and bushes in the future. Pruning of branches to tree (T1) which are growing through and causing damage to the boundary garden wall between 1 and 2 Gladstone Villas. Felling of one tree (T6) located on edge of driveway (Occupation Road) next to driveway gate post. Felling required due to damage to retaining wall and shading of adjacent apple tree.
