Ref 1 - Chestnut - Request to Remove - Tree Surgeon has advised that this tree has been allowed to grow too large for its location and is now casting a large shadow over the neighbours house. Ref 2 - Common Ash - Request to Remove - Tree Surgeon has advised that this tree was pollarded by previous owners and is now showing signs of rot and is very brittle. A large branch was found in the garden when we moved in in Sept 2022 very near the neighbours garage. Others branches are splintering. Ref 3 - Common Ash - Request to Remove - This tree has been planted on top of a mound of earth and allowed to grow slanted. This tree is now leaning towards the fence and neighbours garage. Concerned that this will cause damage in future.

Large Pine tree at front of property - Reduce to ground level. Robinia and Holly - Prune back lower branches overhanging garage roof by approximately 3m. Row of Conifer trees at side of house - Reduce height by 2m and prune sides by 1.5m. Cherry and Hawthorn trees - Prune back by approximately 2m. Row of overgrown Holly trees at rear boundary fence - Reduce height by approx 3m and prune back by 2m. Overgrown Conifer on garden fence line - Dismantle and remove.

Reason for works: Good aboricultural practice managing the trees in proportion with their surroundings maximising amenity value. Some of the work listed is management of neglected hedges etc in the front garden above the house: T1 - Yew, 1m shorten laterally and reduce height to match, T2 - split Conifer, fell and stump grind, T3 - Golden Conifer In front of house towards drive, trim growth from faces and reduce height by a metre, T4 - Reduce crown of Cherry by appx 6 metres to suitable growth points, T5 - Cherry downhill along fence-line from driveway in front garden, reduce to previous points shortening by appx 6metres beyond this, T6 Holly: reduce by appx 4metres to height of elder in front and fell elder Lower garden working along the boundary. T7 - reduce large Laurels down to the height of the Cob Nuts (3m), T8 in front and then halve the height of the cobnuts (to 1.5m), also removing the dead Laurel, T11 top of garden, along from studio, reduce Cobs by half (to 1.5m) T12 Mulberry- Gentle reduction of a appx 1-2metre of lateral spread, to tighten shape, crown clean and gently lift and also remove any deadwood front garage: T14 - Yew adjacent, reduce crown shortening by up to two metres, Cob Nut alongside, reduce height fifty percent (to1.5m) and cut back from garage T15 Holly, reduce laterally to give a foot clearance away from the garage and trim height, continue this along the drive side Holly hedging

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

Front Garden- FIG 1-Remove two green conifers which are overgrown and have dead foliage, replace with contorted willow and shrubs to add interest. Trim and reduce two blue conifers, these are overgrown and too close to overhead cables. FIG 2- Removal of Laburnum tree situated too close to the house which may cause structural damage and could be dangerous to young children living at the property. FIG 3 - Remove any dead branches from two cherry blossom trees at the front of the property. Driveway- FIG 4- Reduce height of green conifer by 15% to ensure stability and reduce risk of damage to surrounding area. FIG 5- Remove one green conifer planted too close to the garage which may cause structural damage and has had unsightly pruning to allow limited access to path. Back garden- FIG 6- Three green conifers overgrown and unsightly was a hedge, access needed to repair boundary fence and will be replaced with Garrya elliptica and Choisya. FIG 7- One Blue Spruce situated too close to our garage, neighbours' garage and boundary fence. Pruned badly and height is concerning for small back garden. Replace with Magnolia.

- Fell one eucalyptus tree in front garden, growing at a dangerous angle and signs of basil decay. - Crown lift and cut back to boundary four ash trees on east side of house, these are currently overhanging the boundary fence and to reduce the chance of squirrels getting onto roof and subsequently causing damage in loft space. - On roadside crown lift group of hazel and maple to 5.5 metres which are encroaching on the lane and to trim back away from electricity cables. - On roadside remove one limb from one ash tree which is over hanging garage.

Tree 1 - Silver Birch - Fell - is very close to our driveway and neighbours garage and this has previously caused concern to them. Trees 2 and 3 - Leylandii - Fell - Both are very close to border fence and outbuilding. Tree 4 - Plumtree - Fell - The tree trunk is damaged and needs to be replaced with another Plumtree. Tree 5 - Unknown species of evergreen which produces red berries - Fell - This has been planted too close to an original feature wall and the house and blocks out considerable light. Tree 6 - Silver Birch - Fell - This has been planted too close to two original feature walls. We intend to relay and replant smaller, manageable trees and shrubs to replace those taken out.
