T12 - T16 need some maintenance as it has been many many years since we had them last trimmed etc. Whilst a tree surgeon inspected the work he notified us that T17 has ash dieback. We would like permission to trim T12 - T16 by 30%. It is costly to have these types of works done so this would ensure we wouldn't need to apply for a number of years. Quite a few branches have fallen this year and we would like to maintain the trees for safety reasons. We of course live with these issues as a family but also there is a public footpath directly next to them. Also, our neighbours in Sunnybank Cottages suffer with darkness and it affects their mental health so by undertaking these works it will help them too. As regards T17 the tree surgeon has indicated that it is suffering from ash dieback. As I am sure you can appreciate this has alarmed us as the tree could fall and it is in close proximity of our dwelling, public footpath. We always thought this tree was our responsibility but it is planted the other side of our fence so needs clarification from yourselves. Our priority is to fell the tree for safety reasons.
