Summary
The applicant wants to trim two protected trees at Merrowdown on Salvington Hill. One beech tree would have its lower branches raised and its canopy thinned. A large dead branch would be removed from a pine tree.
The trees would remain in place. Nearby people may notice changes to their shape and canopy. Removing the dead branch may reduce falling branch risk.
The council will decide after the comment period. The trees are not described as already cut.
