Lordship Cottage 1 Fardells Lane Elsworth Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB23 4JE
Remove two semi-mature silver birch (T1 and T2) on the boundary wall to the east of the house. The trees have outgrown the space and are too close to the boundary wall and other neighbouring structures including the house. Our house has a thatched roof, and a thatcher commented that the trees are probably contributing to an excessive amount of moss on the elevation facing the trees. Surveyors monitoring subsidence on a porch at the north end of the house recommended that the trees should be removed. It is planned to replace with a much smaller tree such as prunus subhirtella 'Autumnalis'. A1 Plan attached A2 Photograph
7 And 9 Montague Road Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB4 1BU
Apple trees (T11 and T12) standing in garden of 7 Montague Road - prune back to boundary between 7 and 9 Montague Road because of excessive growth and damage to roof in 9 Montague Road from falling apples.T11 to be cut back by up to 2.5m, T12 to be cut back by up to 3m. Birch tree (B1) standing in garden of 7 Montague Road - prune long branch extending over 9 Montague Road back to boundary by approximately 3m. Egremont russet tree (T4) - prune for healthy growth and fruit yield. Cut back by up to approximately 75cm (as needed to improve shape). Small cherry tree (T2) - maintenance pruning, cut back by up to 50cm. Other small fruit trees (T3, T6, T7) - maintenance pruning less than 50cm.
43 High Street Whittlesford Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB22 4LT
Tree, thought to be Cherry is in the back garden of 43 High Street, adjacent to fence with 2 Whiskins. The tree is easily identifiable from attached sketch. Reason for the application: 1. Branch hitting my roof when windy. 2. Blocking light to adjacent window. 3. Leaves blocking gutters and downpipe. 4. Roots pushing up patch creating trip hazard. Request permission to have branches and roots cut back to boundary.
2 St Pauls Walk Cambridge Cambridgeshire CB1 2EX
T1Quercus ilex (Holm Oak) - Create framework pollard at 4m 30cm. This height reduces the main stem to just below the area of bark removed, probably by a squirrel. T2 Prunus cerasifera (Cherry Plum) - Reduce crown to clear roof and building by approximately 80cm. T7, 9 & 11 Prunus subhirtella 'Autumnalis' (Autumn / Winter Cherry) - Crown reduce by approximately 1.5m to shorten extraneous growth and maintain natural shape. Work to be undertaken June 2021. T8, 10 & 12 Malus tschonoskii (pillar Crab Apple) - Reduce height of all three trees to approximately 6m and shorten lateral growth by approximately 50% to leave as a reduced framework. T14 Fagus sylvatica (Beech) - This tree is growing in the corner of the site, it is approximately 10cm from the boundary railings, it is also within 1.5m of the pathway wall and the crown is now beginning have an influence on the adjacent large church windows. I believe all the above will lead to this tree becoming a 'nuisance' and will ultimately cause some damage. For these reasons I can only recommend this is removed before it becomes much larger. The adjacent Purple Filbert (Hazel) will not become such a problem and can be maintained as a tree or regularly coppiced to allow light to the surrounding planting area. T13 Fraxinus excelcior (Ash) - This tree is on the boundary with Cambridge Place. Sadly it has the early stages of Ash Die-Back and will continue to decline over the next two or three years until it dies. There is no known treatment. Given the position of the tree pushing against the neighbouring wall and below and within the railings I recommend the stumps is left when it is removed. I recommend planting a suitable replacement tree closer to the corner created by the railings. This can be achieved by cutting back the Pyrancatha and removing the small Mahonia. Eventually the Pyracantha can spread around the stem of the new tree. For the replacement of T13, I recommend a Robinia pseudoacacia 'Tortuosa'

Cherry - Fell - Cherry is one sided as it has become supressed by the larger tree above it. Removing it will prevent it from fouling the balanced development of the Sycamore adjacent. Sycamore on south boundary - remove epicormic growths and self-set saplings at base, remove deadwood throughout crown, crown reduce spread in lower and middle crown on all sides by up to 2m, taper into upper crown to shape and balance. Sycamore on west boundary - crown reduce and crown lift to clear walls and roof by 1.5m, sever ivy at base of main stem up to 2m high.
