1. (TSC1) Sweet Chestnut - Fell In my garden, which is pushing against my fence. This tree is near to a dense group of beech trees, overhangs my garden completely including directly above my summer house. I would like to fell it. Please note that if I am required to plant a replacement it cannot be in exactly the same location as TSC1 is over a main electricity supply to our road and I am not allowed to plant trees within the protected strip. Please be aware that my house is 10 years old and so far my property has been damaged three times by beech trees blown over by prevailing SW winds. Several years ago a mature tree fell over from the garden of 4 Elvetham Close causing significant damage to the roof of my house. In February 2022 two mature beech trees growing next to each other fell from the garden of Chase House, causing significant damage to my garden, fences and outdoor furniture and more minor damage to the house. I, and my wife in particular, are now concerned about the stability of any trees that are within striking distance of our house, lean our way, and share root balls with other trees. In this respect TB2 is our main concern. We would like to keep such trees pruned and stable. Please also note that my answer the question about tree ownership relates to TB2 only - TSC1 is mine.

2/TPO/00025: T1 Horse Chestnut- To remove 2 x lower lateral limbs over road back to main stem, crown lift over road to 6m above ground level. To reduce end weight of large lowest lateral limbs over road and crown lift to 5m above ground level over Rabbit Lane and Old Stable Mews. T2 Beech- To crown lift to 5m above ground level over Rabbit Lane. To reduce end weight of large lateral limb growing towards Bexwell House to clear boundary wall. T3 Oak (Small) - To crown lift to 5m above ground level over Rabbit Lane only

Tree number W12. We have 3 large sycamores (S1, S2 and S3) and 1 oak tree (O4) which require pollarding to improve light quality/reduce shading to properties. Other trees in the woodland area have fallen in the last 2/3 years and whilst the 4 subject trees currently appear to be stable we have concerns over their proximity to property. The sycamores in particular have significant height and weight, are closest to the house and likely to cause potential problems in the future if no action is taken now. Pollarding by 30% of the current size would alleviate the situation. TPO#: 12E.

AMENDED PRUNING SPECIFICATION SEE CONDITION 2 AND INFORMATIVE 2 FOR APPROVED WORKS AND GENERAL GUIDANCE. 1 Sycamore x 6 rear garden Crown Reduction - Reducing the height of the tree by up to 4 metres and lateral spread over garden by up to 3 metres. All pruning cuts shall be made to suitable secondary growth points and shall maintain a stable platform for the expected regrowth Approx 12m x 7m to 8m x 4m to allow light into garden and house. 2 Hawthorn rear bounday Tree slightly up rooted leaning over garden, reduce 2 stems by up to 5 metres to stabilise tree Approx 9m tall however angled - limb reduction to prevent tree falling - client wanted to keep for screening

Lateral reduction by 1.8m-2.4m overhanging roof and crown clean canopy over garden space to 1no. Sycamore Tree (Spring Field House). Crown reduction by 1.8m-2.4m to previous pruning points, and lateral reduction to boundary fence line to 1no. Horse Chestnut and 1no. Sycamore Tree (The Stables). Tree Preservation Order 17/1987.

2/TPO/00008: T1 Beech - The tree hangs over the house at 35 Langland, reduce and thin where possible. This would be my no more 2.5 metres all over and thinned by no more than 20% to potentially give the tree an extended lifetime, rather than let it become overgrown and then ultimately fail. T2 Oak - Requires a lateral limb removing of approximately 30cm at the fork and approximately 10 metres long. Due to the heavy foot traffic underneath the limb and likely hood of failure, it requires removal. This will also allow the tree to regain a more upright and stable form.

SEE CONDITION 2 FOR APPROVED WORKS. Beech LHS of house. Crown Lift to provide 5 metres clearance from ground level all round by removal of secondary branches and reduce the northern canopy by up to 2 metres to clear building. All pruning cuts shall be made to suitable secondary growth points and shall maintain a stable platform for the expected regrowth. Works to reduce from building and raise above driveway and garages.

Beech (T1)- Removed stump as a result substantial damage (originally proposed: reduce crown spread towards house by 3 metres. Large stem torn out in February 2020 storm. Tree now heavily weighted towards house. By reducing crown spread towards house the tree will be more evenly shaped and stable). Ash (T2)- crown reduce to 5 metres above ground level. Tree is very poor condition and most branches dead.
