Overhanging branches to be professionally pruned back by JDR Treecare to give clearance for adults to walk. Cut back to boundary fence. Willow Trees First two branches to be pruned (see photograph 1). One is about 2.5 m long and the branch circumference is 8mm. The second branch is about 4m long and branch circumference is 16mm. The clearance from the ground is only 1.6m, hence adults will walk into it. Third branch (see photograph 2) is about 3m long and branch circumference is 11mm.

Sycamore Dead ivy covered sycamore located on boundary fence line. Dense ivy encroachment on stem and at base preventing full inspection. Historically reduced at 8m approx. No live foliage noted at time of inspection - Fell tree.

The silver birch (T1) it's only really a tidy up of existing branches and therefore probably an overall height reduction of approximately 2-3m on two significant branches with no crown reduction, simply to give it a better shape and better overall health/longevity. The Copper Beech (T2) has previously had a significant crown reduction many years ago (probably in excess of 50?) and this has meant that much of the top of the tree above the original crown is now thin and wispy. The original crown would not be reduced. The thin branches above the original crown would be reduced between approx. 3 to 4metres to restore some shape and in addition the three lowest branches over-hanging the highway would be reduced by approx. 3 metres, (bringing them in line with the boundary fence and retaining their existing height at that point) whilst again bringing some shape and balance to the tree. The two key objectives with T2 are (1) to reduce some of the thin branch height above the original crown to improve sunlight to the thatch and (2) to remove the branches that are struck by passing vehicles on the highway. Copper Beech T3 is a better shape than T2 and again needs no crown reduction/raising. There are three lower branches growing downwards over the adjoining property driveway (as shown on the submitted photos) and these would be reduced by approx. 3m to bring them in line with the height and position of the boundary fence. There are also two lower branches extending over the highway (although not as low as T2) and these would simply be tidied up with no more than approx. 2m removed. The proposal is a general tidy up with no crown increase/reduction to improve/retain overall shape.

Would like to fell conifer in back garden (labelled T1) as a result of it now leaning at approx. 60 degrees back toward the house such that if it were to fall naturally there could be damage to one or multiple of the main house building / fencing / neighbours property. A replacement conifer would be planted to the front of the house where there is an existing row of small conifers lining the property boundary with the footpath (replacement position labelled in sketch). Would like to also fell a crab apple tree in the front garden (labelled T2) due to proximity to main house building and to therefore open up the front garden space and reduce shading caused by the tree (approx 4 meters tall). A further replacement conifer or similar would be planted to the front of the house where there is an existing row of small conifers lining the property boundary with the footpath (replacement position labelled in sketch).

Tree 1. Large Oak to the rear of the property. Heavy extended north facing lateral growth across neighbour's boundary line/ car port. South facing growth needs taking back from property. (Which should be covered in crown reduction.) . Carry out a 2.5 to 3m reduction . Slight crown thin. 5% . Remove all dead wood. Tree 2. Medium twin stemmed Oak situated adjacent to the fence. The North facing stem is mainly extended over the neighbour's boundary line and car port, reduce by 2m The South facing stem requires tidying and laterals taking back from the property, reduce 1.5 to 2m . Slight crown thin, 5% . Remove all dead wood, tidy old stubs Tree 3. Large Oak next in line in from garden fence. Concerns about the heavy north facing lateral growths across the neighbour's boundary line and above his carport. . Carry out a 2.5 to 3m crown reduction. . Slight crown thin, 5% . Remove all dead wood. Tree 4, Medium suppressed Oak on the end. . This tree has poor form as it is being suppressed by the dominant Oak behind which is encouraging it to grow out across the driveway. . Carry out a light rebalancing to south side . Remove all dead wood. . Carry out any corrective works required. Tree 5. Large Oak to the opposing side of the drive with mainly north facing growth pattern due to the proximity of tree 6. Has had reduction work carried out sometime in the past. . Carry out a 20/25% crown reduction. (Back to old cut points) . Slight crown thin, 5% . Remove all dead wood. Tree 6, Medium Oak adjacent to tree 5. Mainly south facing laterals due to being suppressed by tree 5. . Carry out a 2 to 3m crown reduction. . Slight crown thin, 5% . Remove all dead wood.

Remove overhanging limbs from Ash and Holly trees back to boundary. Dismantle 15ft narrow Holly tree protruding through stock wire fence at approx. 45 degree angle.
