I have attached to this application a set of photos of the tree in question and the aerial view of the garden, showing where it sits. The tree in question is a mature sycamore, one of a line of sycamores which run along the back of the garden for The Red House. Whilst the tree is in a conservation area, it is not subject to a Tree Preservation Order The tree itself is in good condition and no work is required on the main trunk and branches of the tree. Whilst the tree is in the garden of The Red House, Aylesbury Road, HP22 6JQ, it is at the back of the garden, adjacent to the end of the garden of 39 The Poplars. The residents of 39 the Poplars have requested we seek permission to cut back the epicormic growth at the base of the tree, which they feel is impinging upon their garage/shed, as illustrated by the last photo attached We have no objection to this work being carried out and will be happy to do the work ourselves, provided that the Council is content for us to proceed.
