My requests fall broadly into three areas summarised below. However, in total, I am making 6 requests (A - F below). 1) This relates PT 1 - PT 5 on enclosed map. These changes - overall - will align the size and shape of the main trees (PT1, 2 and 3), removing overhanging or damaged branches, and improve light access for all trees. it will also support the growth of PT4, PT5 and NPT1 & NPT 2A) PT1 - Oak - Remove dead or damaged wood, reduce overhanging bilateral branches by 2 meters, and Crown thinning of up to 20%, to increase light to garden and surrounding trees. B) PT 2 - Cherry - Crown reduction by maximum of 3 meters. To align height and shape to PT 1 and PT 3 C) PT3 - Sweet Chestnut -Crown reduction by maximum of 3 meters. remove damaged branch overhanging property / seating area.D) PT4 - Holly Tree - Reduce height by no more than 2 meters, and bilateral branches by no more than 1 meter (to maintain shape). 2) This relates to PT 6, 8, and 9 on enclosed map, this change is to ensure good woodland management. Due to lean and poor crown shape, felling PT 6 will drastically improve light to PT9 and PT8 which are becoming over shadowed. it will also improve light to PT7 and NPT 3. E) Fell PT6 - Larch - to ground level, as it is a poor specimen and it will allow the continued growth and health of PT8 and 9 (as well as trees and foliage that are within a neighbouring property). 3) This relates to a group of 15 conifers labelled GT1. 7 of these trees were pruned in 2014, but 8 were not. Overall, their height aligns to the roof level (some to roof ridge level). I would like to restore these (or complete an initial prune) to align all conifers to the 2nd floor window height. F) Reduce the hight of 15 trees by between 2 and 3 meters and uniform their height and align to 2nd floor window. Rationale: Some of the trees within the copse land to the rear of our property have had some works carried out in 2014, but largely the trees and copse area as a w...
