Works to laterally reduce 10no. leylandii trees back to residential boundary line of School House, covered by Tree Preservation Order SGTPO 633 dated 9th September 2009

G1 - G3 - 3 x Oak Trees - Remove major deadwood throughout whole crown area (Deadwood > 25mm in diameter). Reduce back the lateral extent growing towards the house and garden by 1-2m. G4 - Lime - Remove major deadwood throughout whole crown area (Deadwood > 25mm in diameter). Remove basal growth and epicormics up to 3m. Reason: To manage and maintain the trees within their residential environment.

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)

The requested work involves the removal of Pine tree, T7 that is currently protected under TPO No: 0004 (2021). The tree is in very poor health (very little live wood in evidence), assessed to be in a state of declining health and unlikely to recover. The tree is a large specimen, 16m in height and located on the southern boundary of 237 Hills Road, Cambridge, directly adjacent to the Public Highway of Hills Avenue. The tree is also located close to the nearby residential property of Tirnalia House, please refer to Grid Ref: Easting / Northing (546432.28 / 256082.12). The probable cause of decline is Phytophthora disease, which is known to be a soil borne disease and therefore likely to have entered the tree via its roots causing damage to the root system. In a state of ill heath (rapid decline) and with a weakened root system, the tree is predisposed to tree failure / wind throw, especially in high gales. Being positioned close to the Public Highway and residential property, if the tree were to fail, the potential for significant damage to property or injury to persons are assessed as significant.

Tree Works Notice of intended tree works in conservation area of Badsworth Meadow Mead, Main Street, Badsworth WF9 1AJ is a residential property situated off a private access road, with boundaries adjacent to St Mary's Church and The School House and Hall Farm Barn. The garden has been left untended for years by the previous owner resulting in many self-set, unsuitably positioned and potentially structurally damaging tree and shrub growth. As the current new owners, we provide notification of intended tree works designed to provide benefits to the longevity of some of the trees, safer surroundings, and an overall improvement to the site. Please note some recent cutting back of shrub and brambles has taken place by the previous owner in order to gain access to remove his property from the garden, including 3 derelict vehicles East facing boundary Meadow Mead T 1 Douglas fir (Christmas tree) to be removed , due to size and close proximity to bungalow, extensive root network having a detrimental effect on the surrounding garden West facing boundary of Meadow Mead T 2 Self set sycamore, approx 10m high generally reshape by pruning back leggy growth and crowning to achieve approx 3m reduction in height. T 3 Self set sycamore, approx 10m high, overhanging garden of Hall Farm Barn, work required to generally reshape by pruning back leggy growth and crowning to achieve approx 3m reduction in height.

Sycamore, Hawthorn, Lime, Ash T27, T47, T48, T62, T69, T70 - Linear group of trees located on the boundary with plots 15-18 to south west of new residential development site - Cut back lateral branches by 3m to north, to 1m inside new fence line, to abate nuisance of overhanging branches towards new residential house gardens.

TPO 0009 (2003) T18: Oak in rear garden - crown reduce by approximately 2.5-3m, remove dead wood and epicormic growth on stem and lowest branches up to 5m. Crown reduced previously to similar points. Small residential garden, if not contained the tree will become a problem (amenity wise and structurally to house).

T1 mature London plane (Platanus ? acerifolia) rear garden of 34 Dordrecht Road T2 mature London plane (Platanus ? acerifolia) rear garden of 34 Dordrecht Road T3 mature London plane (Platanus ? acerifolia) boundary of 34 & 36 Dordrecht Road Pollarding work to the three mature London plane trees as outlined above to leave a finalised height of approx. 12m above ground level, and radial spread of approx. 12m (The current overall height of the tallest trees T1 & T3 including re-growth is approx. 19m above ground level and the total radial spread is approx.20m). This reduction work will involve the removal of approx. 5-6m of re-growth and further pruning into scaffold timber past previous pollard points by approx. 3m to leave the finalised height of approx. 12m above ground level. All sides growth and lateral spread will be reduced as necessary to form a rounded and more compact framework to create a sensible overall shape and dimension for their residential garden location and to allow uniform future re-growth which can be managed on an approx. 2-3 year cycle to provide continued amenity value to the neighbouring houses and street scene when viewed from the house frontages. Please see attached report for summary of reasons for the work.
