One of the lower limbs of the Prunus tree hanging over the garage split and had to be removed urgently to protect the garage . The tree surgeon who carried out the work reported that the whole tree trunk was rotten and advised that the tree should be felled to stump level to avoid potential future damage. The tree surgeon is Enigma Landscape and Tree Services, 5 Walducks Close, Stewkley

T1. Crable Apple, Fell. T2, Dead Scotts Pine, Fell T3, Sycamore, Fell T4 Crown Lift to to alow 1m clearance from Garage Roof. Clear limbs from phone cable

Sycamore (T1) - Arborist and tree surgeon, J Fox Tree Care has recommended both the current height (10 metres) and spread (8 metres) be each reduced by 2 metres. This is to bring back an over-grown tree to a reasonable size, and prevent damage to the adjacent garage and house rooves.

T1 Goat Willow - reduce branches overhanging garage back to boundary.

T1 - Silver Birch - Selectively prune to clear garage & neighbouring property by 1.5m

Willow tree (T1) on land behind swan public house, between garage and back of no4 chapel square. Tree is possibly in preservation area. Now needing up to 50% reduction to crown, including height, as it is over hanging roof of no4 so potential risk of storm damage. See location plans and photos attached.

T1 Silver Birch - Side back branches over garage to give 1.5 m clearance T2 Cherry - Side back overhanging branches to boundary General tidy and maintenance. Take back to boundary.

Prunus - Cherry. Root damage to near-by garage and vehicle damage (tyres) due to exposed roots, when parking at the property. Concern regarding effect of root system on nearby neighbours boundary wall and main property. Replanting of trees proposal - oak, magnolia or acer tree(s) to be planted in a more appropriate location on the property. Key on sketch indicates the tree location

1. Large fir trees along boundary to business park drive (coloured blue on sketch). These are part of a double row - the other half is owned by the business park and the trees were reduced in height around 2 years ago. Following last years' storms two trees on the other side of our boundary fell and we should like to reduce the 14 on our side by approximately half their height (still leaving them around 15 ft tall, to prevent risk of breakage in high winds in future and also to improve lighting to our property 2. Fir trees coloured green on sketch and leylandii (not coloured but running in line to garage). These were reduced in height two years ago but only by a small amount. High winds last year created some damage with falling branches breaking fences on both sides and we are concerned that future storms may bring whole trees down. In addition, the owners of the business park say that the branches on their side are potentially causing damage to vehicles parked there. We propose to reduce height by 15-20 ft (the trees are around 45ft high) and also to reduce thickness of growth on the far side. 3. Poplar trees coloured in dark blue. These were reduced two years ago but the contractors did not remove as much as requested (or granted) at the time and we are still concerned by the prospect of trees falling in high winds. We should like to do additional work , reducing height to just below the level of the roof of the main house 4. Mulberry Tree (coloured pink) -to reduce it in height by probably 2-3m so that it is slightly higher than what is left of the firs behind, allowing it some additional light. 5. Eucalyptus tree (purple) - lost some high branches in high winds - to be reduced and re-shaped for safety (about 10ft removed, leaving it at around 20ft high) 6. Fir tree at edge of garden (yellow). The reduction would be approx. 4m, in line with the above, potentially with up to 15% thinning of the lower

T1 - Lime - Remove. Because large root sections are encroaching into drive. Trunk is encroaching onto narrow drive. Large unhealthy limb is going over neighbour's garage. The trunk has considerable "bottle butt" signifying decay. A good REPLACEMENT TREE will be planted. Possibly a field maple.
