Field maple on the western aspect of the site at 87 on the boundary with 89a. Identified as T8 on plan; propose coppicing the tree to prevent squirrels gaining access to the roof; no plan to replant tree in this location as coppicing will allow ongoing survival of the tree; squirrels have caused extensive damage to the property with the cost mounting into thousands of pounds and causing a fire hazard; whilst the squirrels can still access the roof space there is risk of ongoing damage despite having fitted rodent/bird protection to solar panels.

T1, Sycamore : Crown lift secondary branches on south side to give 3m clearance to neighbouring roof. Reason: to achieve a space of approximately 3m between roof and tree which is free of branches. T,2 Cherry : Reduce low over extended limb back to a point above the boundary wall. Reason to reduce excessive shading.
