1. Elm trees x2 - Fell to ground level as dead / dying. Due to Dutch Elm Disease and being roadside. 2. Walnut tree - Reduce lateral branches overhanging the road and garden/house by 4m. and 3m respectively. This tree is significantly overhanging both the road and the domestic property proposed pruning to mitigate these risks and to retain a balanced shape to the tree. 3. Sycamore - Remove two lower branches, one of which has suffered damage from passing vehicles, to reduce road overhang, mitigate safety concerns and vehicular damage risk. 4. Silver Birch - Remove three lower branches to reduce road overhang, mitigate safety concerns and vehicular damage risk. 5. Cherry Laurel - Reduce the height to 2.5m in order to reduce excessive garden shading and risk from branches being shed. 6. Prunus x2 - Pollard to 3.5m. One of these two trees lost a significant branch earlier in 2022 and the tree has suffered a significant split at a height of 4.0m which is likely to cause further branches to fail. The second tree to be pollarded to match. 7. Conifer - Removal to ground level. 8. Ash - Remove a lower limb/fork which, is considered at risk of cleaving with consequent splitting of the remainder of the trunk, potentially allowing disease to infect the remainder, as well as to reduce excessive shading. If this limb were to fall it would destroy a garden shed as well as damaging other trees/shrubs beneath. In addition, reduce the crown height by 6m (cutting to growth points) as well as removal of laterals which are significantly overhanging the neighbouring property.
