Silver birch tree in front garden of 23 Upper Hill Rise, position identified by T7 on plan. A large section of the tree has died and fungus has appeared on one of the branches. The tree is estimated to be about 60 years old, it was a mature tree when we first occupied the house 35 years ago and thus is nearing the end of it's natural life span. Removal of the dead sections which are all on one side of the tree (see photographs) would leave the tree unbalanced and at risk of falling. Whilst the tree remains as it is there is also the possibility of the tree falling. Should the tree fall it could cause serious damage to either our property, our neighbour's property or to any person on either property or on the pavement outside the properties. Therefore permission to remove the diseased tree is requested. Due to the presence of fungus in the area it is not proposed to replant.

Oak tree identified as T1 in attached plan -- crown thinning 25% and height reduction of up to 2.5 - 3 meters. Yew trees identified as G1 in attached plan, totalling 10 yew trees. Crown height reduction of up to 2.5 - 3 meters. Yew trees identified as G1 in attached plan, totalling 10 yew trees, shaping and pruning of up to 2 meters for maintenance and to clear branch overhanging into neighbours properties. We have owned the house for 16+ years and have never done a crown height reduction on the Oak tree nor done any pruning, shaping or crown lowering on any of the Yew trees. It is long overdue. The work will be done sympathetically and without endangering the health and wellbeing of the trees.

Tree reference given earlier (TPO 048 T94 Beech - it's marked on your map). The crown is getting very heavy and we've had the odd large branch come down We'd like to thin the crown by approximately 30% on the advice of tree surgeon (name given below) . We'd like to do this in a managed way so that future branches don't fall on neighbour's house. It's a beautiful tree and we're keen to preserve it.

Norway Maple - x 3 - Remove 3 lower limbs and reduce remainder by 30% They form one canopy which we are hoping to reduce from 10M in height to 6 M (reduction of 4m) and from 8M in width to 6M (reduction of 2m). We hope to remove the lower 3 branches of the tree nearest the house (see photos).

T1 - Scots pine x 1 - reduce overlong lateral branches by around 1m, prune out broken and snagged second-order branches from the crown interior. As part of the works significant sized deadwood will be removed which is an exception under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the Town and Country Planning (Tree Preservation) [England] Regulations 2012. Reasons: the tree is located in a small garden area which it has now outgrown. In conjunction with trees growing on open land behind it is now obstructing significant afternoon sunlight to the rear of the house and reducing light throughput to the ground below. The light restriction is now significant and preventing any other vegetation growth beneath the canopy spread and beyond.
