Crown reduction of: 1. One beech 9.0m tall - reduction by 4.5m 2. One yew tree 6.8m tall - reduction by 3.4m 3. One yew tree 7.1m tall - reduction by 3.5m Removal of 7.1m tall yew tree (point 3) - this tree is situated on the corner of the crossroads. It requires continued maintenance for road user safety. The tree blocks a considerable amount of natural light and skyline from the house. It is dark and oppressive, and this is impacting the mental health of a member of the household. This tree is fast growing and ongoing maintenance is at a considerable cost.

Would like to fell conifer in back garden (labelled T1) as a result of it now leaning at approx. 60 degrees back toward the house such that if it were to fall naturally there could be damage to one or multiple of the main house building / fencing / neighbours property. A replacement conifer would be planted to the front of the house where there is an existing row of small conifers lining the property boundary with the footpath (replacement position labelled in sketch). Would like to also fell a crab apple tree in the front garden (labelled T2) due to proximity to main house building and to therefore open up the front garden space and reduce shading caused by the tree (approx 4 meters tall). A further replacement conifer or similar would be planted to the front of the house where there is an existing row of small conifers lining the property boundary with the footpath (replacement position labelled in sketch).

Lime Tree- fell because falling limbs are a danger and have already dented two cars this year. It has for the first time this year it exuded a sticky substance constantly and not as is usual, just when it is coming into flower. This has made a mess of the cars and attracted 5 wasp nests in the eves of the house. There is also a large hollow about 6metres up the main trunk which may not show on the photos. I am also concerned that if we had some very high winds and it blows down it would fall across the house. It is a lovely tree and it would be a shame to completely remove it, but I fear for our safety and the safety of others passing up the drive, for which I may be liable.
