Application to reduce the canopy of a Beech tree in the front garden to a maximum width of 8m due to bird droppings on cars and branches reaching the house.

Full Proposal

Beech tree in front garden needs canopy reduction, leaving width at 8m maximum. Birds roost and defecate on cars, parking area of Numbers 5 and 7. Shoes, baby buggy wheels pick up faeces. Branches reach the house, need cutting back. This happens on daily basis. There is only one tree on a small, paved area so a sketch plan would add nothing. It?s clear what the problems are. HAR/CA15, TPO 15N.
