    (T1) Olive - Tree is growing on the right hand border of 49a Grosvenor Avenue and is overhanging neighbouring property. Tree is approximately 8m tall and 6-8m lateral spread. Tree has previously been reduced and has approximately 3m of regrowth. Proposing to reduce entire crown back to previous pruning points (3m) in order to prevent failure of branches, prevent excessive shading to neighbouring garden and property and preserve tree in location.

It also has some decay on the main stem from an old pruning cut and has a bracket fungus at approximately 1.5m. Proposing to remove the tree to prevent further damage to the wall.
