Removal of unsafe sycamore tree

Proposed change of use from a first floor flat to serve ground floor opticians

T1 - wild cherry. Tree has grown only laterally over the home owners driveway due to the larger Sycamore adjacent. Client wishes to remove the tree to ground level given it location under the larger tree and the fact its only growing towards the house. There are very limited pruning cuts available due to the species and its architecture that would rectify the spread of the tree. G1 - Cupressus - Hedge line of Western red cedar are a height of 6m in height and the client wishes to reduce them to around 3.5m in height from ground level as they are becoming large for the space and garden. Client also wishes the lateral spread be reduced into the garden by 0.5m to suitable pruning points.
