Proposal:

Species and Location of Trees

T1.          A Cypress tree approximately 10m in height, situated close to the house on the left-hand side boundary of the rear garden.  The tree is very dense, wide spreading and light restricting.

T2.          A Crimson Chestnut tree approximately 12m in height, situated on the right-hand side boundary of the rear garden.  The tree is a little dense.

T3.          A Crimson Chestnut tree approximately 12m in height, situated on the right-hand side boundary of the rear garden, a little further down the garden than (T2) above.  The tree is dead.
