Crown reduction proposed for blue cedar tree in private garden

ImpactAutomated estimate

Summary

The owner of 25 Ernest Road wants to cut back a blue cedar tree by about a third. This means trimming the outer branches to make the tree smaller overall. The tree is in a private garden in a residential street in Hornchurch. There are only a handful of neighbouring properties with a clear view of the site, as most surrounding homes are shielded by other buildings. The applicant states the work is to let more light into the garden and reduce the chance of the tree failing.
