T1 poplar - request permission to reduce the lower limb to a suitable growth point, away from the clients home by 3m, it is touching the roof and will most likely cause issues further down the line. T2 poplar - there are a few limbs which are smaller possibly self seeders, going over the garage and almost touching. Requesting permission to take these out. The last limb had been cut before and we would like permission to pollard this to take it away from the garage roof.

There are 7 trees affected by this application, all are Silver Birch, and the location is shown on the attached sketch, X1 to X7. They were included in TPO 29 1996 and were part of a group designated G3 in Planning Application 20/01790/APP in 2020 for what eventually became Tower View Cottage. These trees are approximately 65 years old (as advised by local residents who knew of the planting), but their growth has been suppressed for the majority of their life as they were shaded by other neighbouring trees in close proximity. At this age, even in good health, the remaining life is expected to be less than 10 years to failure or death, however they are all in the last stages of their decline and this time is likely to be considerably less than 10 years. They all have very thin crowns, and are sparsely leafed. Specifically there is considerable concern regarding the safety in the garden, and the proximity to the house and boundaries. Specifically :- X1 is dying, has significant dead wood in the crown and is leaning toward the eastern boundary. X2 is dying, has two major cavities at about 3m and is a potential danger to the house given the age and condition of the tree. X3, X4, X5 & X6 are all tall with very thin crowns, with minimal growth only at high level and are in decline. X7 has dead limbs at the crown and is dangerously close to the neighbouring house, Midcourts. This request is that due to the condition and age of the trees that they be felled and the stumps ground out. It is disappointing to have to request the felling of these trees, but given the circumstances it is considered essential. Therefore we would propose to plant 4-5 new trees around the garden, the species to be discussed with the Buckinghamshire Authority

Works to Trees: T1 Beech tree (north side of the stem) to sectional dismantle to ground level and T2 Beech tree (close to house) to sectional dismantle to ground level,

This application is for the reduction of 2 trees, one Oak and one Ash tree. The trees are situated in the rear garden of The Vicarage, Woodland way but overhang the garden of Warren House causing significant shading to the property and garden and damaging the grass making it very difficult to use the back garden and enjoy the grass area. Our client likes the trees and would like to reduce the Oak tree T1 by 1.5m to create a well shaped and balanced crown and thin the canopy by 15% to allow more dappled light into the garden and property. The Ash tree T2 is causing the same problem as the Oak tree T1 and we would like to reduce by 1.5-2m all round back to healthy growth points to allow more light and less debris dropping into Warren House garden. All work will be compliant with BS3998 standards.

Please refer to separate document TPO Works 15-8-23. TPO 735 applies to a Sycammore tree in the rear garden of my house.

2 Conifers - Fell structural survey (attached) to show they have caused cracks and damage to the house.

1 The Heathers: Cherry - Remove. Cherry - Remove. T18 Goat Willow - Remove. T4 Oak - Draw back to clear house by 3m. 3 The Heathers: T1 Sycamore - Lift to 5m. This work is proposed for the side of 3 The Heathers only (a separate application is live for the work to the other side of the tree via house number 5). T2 3x Sycamore - Lift and reduce by around a third in height removing 4m leaving a minimum 8m overall height. T3 Sycamore - Remove lowest branch the side of 3 The Heathers. 5 The Heathers: T1 Sycamore - Cut back lateral spread towards house to clear by 3m. Lift to 5m, including the limb with large open cavity. Thin 20% removing secondary growth only. This work is specific to the canopy over the side of number 5 only. 7 The Heathers: Please see photos for colour references: Clear all new self seeded whips and saplings marked with yellow under 75mm dbh. (Retaining staked trees planted as part of the development conditions). 4x mixed deciduous juniors - Remove. All marked with red under 200mm dbh. Green dots are specimen mature trees for retention to comply with the TPO. T1 Hawthorn - Remove, dead. T2 Elm - Remove, dead. T3 Sycamore - Remove. T4 Yew - Remove.

T1 (T10 on TPO document) Oak - Remove due to close proximity to house - approximately 4.5m from back door. Tree was pollarded at approximately 8m in 2022, subsequently it has very poor form and little amenity value, whilst offering little in terms of aesthetics. The mass of new epicormic growth also causes excessive shading.

T1 Pine, we would like to reduce the height by around 3M like the photo below to a reasonable growth point and reduce the one side branch that sticks out from the canopy. these works are to insure the safety of the house and family. by doing these works it will take out some of the sail area and leverage when there are strong gusts.

T1 - Oak tree - reduce crown on the house side by up to 25% removing no more than 2.5 meters on the sides to stop the branches encroaching onto the house and to let a bit more light into the garden. Remove first 3 branches back to the trunk to lift the canopy over the garage and car port to give adequate clearance over the garage roof.
