Works to a Tree with a TPO: Hand dig a trench on the perimeter of the proposed rear extension parallel to the existing house to understand the extend of roof growths and potential pruning that might be required during construction.

Ash tree as identified as T1 on the attached Sketch Plan. Request to remove tree. Reason: The tree has two codominant stems joined at the base. There is evidence of significant decay at the top of the southern most stem as seen in Pic 2. We believe that this decay may extend to the base of the tree. A sounding hammer has been used at the base of the southernmost stem and a significant cavity is suspected although external signs were not identified. The previously adjacent Ash tree within a few metres proximity failed at the base and fell within a recent storm (24/10/23). The particular tree was discovered to have significant heartwood decay which hadn`t previously been identified. The structural failure of the tree caused damage to both the clients and neighbouring property. Naturally the client is concerned over the structural defect of this remaining Ash tree.

T1 - Copper Beech - Reduce height by 2-3m, install 4t rated Cobra Brace between the two co-dominant stems, reduce crown spread and 3m spread reduction where lower to mid-crown lateral branching extends towards house, crown lift by removing lowest laterals that extend towards property and driveway to approx 4.5-5m clearance, crown lift over pavement and road to 2.5m and 5.5m, thin crown by 20% (TPO 364)

T1 Copper Beech - Crown lift to 3.25 meters. T2 T3 T4 T5 Sycamores and 1 Elm - Crown lift to 5.2 meters. T2 T3 Sycamore - Cut back to leave 3.5 meters clearance from the building extension. See marked photos.

Lime tree situated on Council owned land adjoining No 6 Canning Cross. The canopy of the tree needs to be raised by approximately 2m over the building and to gain access to construct a mansard roof extension. Remove a lower branch over the roof as shown. Remove epicormic growth to facilitate scaffolding and remove dead wood. Height and form to be retained.

T1 - Oak - Prune to give up to 2m clearance to the house (including extension). Crown lift to achieve 3m clearance over the ground, not removing any primary branches. Prune the single branch back to the red line shown in photo. (002/1983/TPO).

Proposed removal of 2 trees close to our rear patio doors - 1 x Yew and 1 x Holly. The size of the trees have got a little out of control, with large amounts of debris / fallen leaves now falling on our living area. The trees grow inbetween 2 original large mature Scots Pine trees, which will not be touched. In addition to this, we have a large mature oak tree in a corner boundary, that while growing towards the light, is also growing predominantly over our garage/extension roof. We would like to ask for permission for a tree surgeon to take some of the weight out of the extremities of this tree, in addition to some heavy branches that are growing over our neighbour's boundary into No 9 Ferniehurst. Please find pictures and plan attached.

2/TPO/00022: T1 Mature Cedar- Remove deadwood. Crown reduce 0.5m west side away from building from 6 to 5.5 m @ 6m height and 0.5m at 3m near extension of house on north side of tree. Only fronds. (picture in report 2-4). Remove storm damaged hangers (picture in report 1-4)

1. 4 x Oak trees (T1, T2, T3, T4), (rear right western boundary) - Reduce height by reduction to suitable lateral growth points, by up to 6 metres to leave canopy height of 18 metres. To tier tree height away from property and blend with tree line to southern aspect and cove road boundary. 2. 2 x Oak trees (T5,T6) (rear south western boundary) - reduce north eastern aspect of canopies over garden buildings, to suitable lateral growth points, by up to 5 metres, to leave canopies of 10 metres radially. To reduce lateral extension over garden buildings.

Description: An over- mature oak - 2/TPO/00092 Recommendations: To alleviate the stress on the union where the split occurs it is recommended to carry out a 3.0m canopy reduction (photo 1) to retain approximately 15m of branch structure throughout the canopy. It is recommended to lift the canopy through branch reduction to the branches that extend south west, south and south east to 2.5m above ground level. Clearance will mainly be achieved by pruning small twigs with 3 branches requiring pruning that have a diameter of between approximately 50mm and 70mm. The remaining branch spread will be 12.0m (photo 3). All work will be completed by a suitably qualified tree surgeon working to BS 3998:2010 Tree Work Recommendations guidance. Final pruning cuts will be distal to the parent limb and not beyond the branch collar. No work will be carried out when the tree is going through periods of high energy output, that is, bud burst and leaf fall (spring and autumn).
