The work required is the the two trees which border the development and the public house, there are some dead branches and residents would like dead wood removed and these trimmed back to previous pruning points on the property side and removal of epicormic on the stem, so that it will allow more light into their properties. TPO 265E.

Weeping Willow T1 as shown on attached plan (TPO Tree Ident Number unknown) Reduce canopy to allow access for pilling rig to install the retaining wall required for the junction improvement works approved as part of the approved 470 home residential Development known as Whitford Green, Whitford Road, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire We have undertaken air-spade site investigations to determine extent of root growth and geotechnical site investigations have been undertaken to aid the design of the retaining wall. To minimalise the impact of the wall a king post system is to be utilised but it necessary to have three pile locations on the edge of the canopy of the weeping willow to allow access for the piling rig. (See Attached Plan) For the works near the willow tree the piling rig is to be located on the existing highway at a lower level to minimalise the impact and requirement for pruning. The exact extent of pruning will be agreed on site with the Bromsgrove Tree Officer, but from our site visit and the information currently available we would suggest at a reduction of up to 5 limbs by up to 2m of their overall length (6m) to the southern and eastern side of the tree. It should be noted that we are happy to either undertake an all round crown reduction of this tree, or to only prune the limbs that are required to allow access for the piling rig, whichever option is deemed most appropriate by the Bromsgrove tree officer. We would be happy to meet the Bromsgrove Tree Officer on site to discuss this TPO application during the consultation period. We would suggest that condition is attached that requires final approval for the extent of works by the Bromsgrove tree officer. The pruning would be undertaken following the guidance of the tree officer and follow the guidance within BS3998 (2012)

Prune Field Maple ID#1 Reduce low branches to 5.5m all around, on the road side give statutory clearance and open drive. Prune Yew ID#2 Reduce lateral growth over drive and towards house by 2m to open drive an reduce light shading to property. Raise lower crown to 5.2m over drive. Remove Laurel Group ID#3 Dismantle large group at front of house to enhance space and allow for management of property and allow for new planting scheme. Prune Norway Maple ID#4 Reduce lateral crown growth to allow for development of more desirable tree (purple maple) and reduce impact on property and road. Reduce lower half crown by 2-3m to secondary growth points and upper half by 1-1.5m reducing to secondary growth points.

1. Beech Hedge - trimmed to c.3m in height and maintained at this height. There is a Beech hedge adjacent to my property that has been allowed to grow to a height which is restricting the light onto my property and significantly overhanging my boundary. The hedge was never intended to be trees (c.27 beech trees in less than 8m) and at one stage was cut to c.8 foot. Since then it has been allowed to grow and if it continues will cause significant issues with our property. The trees/hedge are approximately 6 metres tall. The hedge is on a strip of land that is owned by Barratts Development PLC. The hedge is between my house (9 Filbert Grove) and Treen House. It is <1m from my fence boundary.

T1: T1: Fell to ground. Dead pine. Approximately 10 metres high. One metre from footpath which has public right of way. It will become a risk of falling. No replanting to allow development of surrounding trees (including Oak labelled T6 on diagram, the trunk of the oak is 4ms from dead pine. The oak has a canopy of approx. 20ms circumference)" Hedge: A holly hedge on the North West boundary is dying gradually. Presumably, the overhanging birch (T2 and T3) and oak branches (T4, T5 and T6) in our neighbours garden have provided inadequate light for it to survive. Several dead holly trunks have been removed over several years. Other dead trunks remain. The trunks now have extensive growth of ivy and climbing weed. The holly hedge bordering the house is unsightly for the neighbours (Anfield). It has no amenity value. We would like to remove the line of holly hedge as marked above and replace with a fence. The holly hedge away from the house and bordering the garden remains strong and will remain as it is. There is no record in our deeds to suggest the hedge has a protection order. We have 50 ms of holly hedge elsewhere in the garden. Please confirm that permission is not required to remove the dying/dead holly hedge, or please provide approval.
