Variation of condition 10, 11, 12 (landscape/boundary plan) relating to application 20/01790/APP (Demolition of existing garage/workshop, and erection of a detached two storey dwelling, plus amended parking to serve existing house)

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 - Lawson Cypress - Fell because of close proximity to the house, conservatory and stores. Potential damage to the structural integrity of the buildings surrounding it. T2 - Lawson Cypress - Fell because of close proximity to the brick wall connected to the boundary wall of the property, the house, conservatory and stores. Potential damage to the structural integrity of the buildings surrounding it. T3 - Lawson Cypress - Fell because of close proximity to the garage and greenhouse. Potential damage to the structural integrity of the buildings surrounding it. T4 - Apple - Prune tree by opening out centre, removal of dead wood, crown reduction 1.5 - 2m

#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.
