Removal of small apple tree in the garden, behind house to facilitate extension

We would like to reduce the crown of two trees in the back garden of 18 Grange Park, they extend over several neighbouring gardens all of which have asked it to be trimmed. Tree 2 is the largest tree at the rear, Tree 1 is smaller and nearest to the house.hes are on plan and pictures enclosed.

Crown Reduction to T5 English Oak (Category A): undertake 2 metre crown reduction to improve light levels as well as reducing future stress on the foundations of the new extension. Removal of deadwood and improving safety. Removal of Ornamental Cherry T2 (Category C): T2 is a semi-mature cherry tree close to the garage, its rooting area is notably poor being surrounded by paving and driveway. It has slender form and its canopy touches the garage roof-line. T2 is in close proximity of the house so its removal will reduce future stress on the foundations of the house and garage. We propose the removal and replanting of a new replacement cherry. Phased removal of G3 Cypress Group (Category C): The trees were planted to create screening and privacy, but have not been height managed and are now excessively tall. The trees have large stems, some less than 2m from the boundary walls and close to the foundations of the house and not sustainable. The trees' canopies touch the house and roof-line, creating excessive shade on the south eastern side of the garden. G3 cypress are still not mature and can be expected to continue vigorous growth, potentially creating issues and stresses on the house foundations. We propose a 'phased tree removal' of G3 cypress group over several years. The removal of G3 will have many advantages, including improving light levels to the eastern garden and will be highly beneficial to nearby groups of English Yew (G2) G1 Boundary Cypress Trees (Category C): This linear group of cypress located on the south western boundary, has been left to grow excessively tall over a period of time and requires maintenance. Reduce their height by 50% to allow more light into the garden and create a formal 2m hedge.

Works to fell two trees in a Conservation area - (Ash trees) within the grounds of our house. 1. Height and width of trees near property. 2. Lack of light. 3. Concern the roots of the tree will be encroaching on building extension/boundaries of 106 and 110.

Application to fell Birch tree of estimated 40 feet height, due to close proximity to house. The tree is progressively leaning towards the house and would definitely cause structural damage to the kitchen area extension were it to be blown down in a storm.It is estimated that the angle of incline is at least 15 degrees from the perpendicular.This angle of incline is gradually increasing. In addition the roots appear to be lifting the adjacent patio flag stones and predictably the roots are moving towards the house.

A tree surgeon has visited our property and advised that a large Poplar by our house is now in a dangerous condition. Our property is in a conservation area. The tree was extensively pollarded by the previous owners when they built the extension to the property. It now has two large holes at the top of the tree and these trap water, one of these holes has a water depth of 2 feet and the top of the tree trunk is decaying away. A large branch over the property also has a large hole that is holding water. The tree is also now (after 15 years growth post pollarding) too close to the house and roots are encroaching on the building. The tree is approx 4 feet in diameter and 60 feet high. He advises that the tree needs to be removed, the stump ground out and material removed from the site.

Tree 1 - Eucalyptus - pruning to around one third of current height. Reason- overhanging communal garages and neighbour's (Number 4 Boxwood Close) property, plus communal pathway and applicant's extension roof. Tree 2 - Silver Birch - removal. Reason - proximity to house - overhanging extension

Rear T1 - Ash (Fraxinus excelsior), semi-mature tree, suggested works are to fell to ground level by sectional take down. The home owner has planning application for a rear extension to the property and the trees proximity to the proposed works was flagged up by the surveyor and architect. A replacement tree of a more suitable species will be planted in the garden after the works are completed.
