Full Proposal

Tree in front garden. Silver Birch requires trimming to equal balance. Is estimated to be about 45 yo and 40ft tall. Very top heavy when in leaf and looks likely to topple in the now more frequent storms and strong winds. As a safety measure many of the branches growing from the divided trunk need cutting off completely and others thinning. HAR/CA15, TPO 16N.
