1. Walnut (T4) - the lower limbs / branches are now sagging to the extent that in a number of cases the ends touch the ground. We requesting approval to crown lift up to 3 metres from the ground 2. Copper Beech (T7) - one limb has grown to the extent it now significantly overhangs the garage (actually touches the garage roof, so risk of damage) and a second limb is extending towards the house. Request approval to prune back by 2 metres the limb overhanging the garage and prune back by 2 metres the limb growing towards the house 3. Poplar on rear boundary (not subject to TPO) - due to the height of this tree we have been advised that there is a risk of it snapping. We request approval to crown reduce by 40% and shape to best form (due to height we are unable to determine how tall it is) 4. Request approval to trim holly at the main entrance to the house and shape to best form

#1 Uwe Tree - crown reduction and thinning to reduce shading to property and surrounding vegetation as well as removal of dead and decaying branches which may cause hazard to passing people and encourage healthy regrowth. #2 Ash Tree - Crown reduction in height to match the surrounding trees to increase amenity value. #3 Maple leaf Acer Tree - Crown reduction and thinning combined with removal of dead and decaying branches to encourage healthy full regrowth. #4 Silver Birch - Crown thinning and lifting to manage growth away from garage and house while ensuring continued healthy growth and limiting damage to buildings. #5 Ash, Sycamore(x2) Crown thinning of overhanging branches from road side to even up growth and lift away from boundary to enable future health growth on both aspects.
