Request to trim a mature overgrown lime tree that is overhanging the roof and boundary wall, causing damage and safety concerns. The work involves cutting back overhanging branches and removing epidormic growth.
Proposal as recorded
We are requesting work to a multi-stemmed, mature overgrown lime tree which is overhanging my roof and surpassing our boundary wall. The tree is very close to our house, and has caused a facia to rot, is blocking our gutters and is creating a bridge for squirrels to enter our roof. There are also overhanging branches over our roof which cause us great concern in the high winds (we can hear them creaking and cracking at night). We would like the overhanging branches cut back and the epidormic growth removed. The proposed work (as shown in the picture provided) has been advised by Woodfeller Tree Care who are preparing us a quote to undertake it. HAR/CA15, TPO 17N.
