T2 oak tree located on the road side boundary of pool farm tree is in need of a dead wood as some substantial sized pieces and hanging dead wood however the lower canopy stretching over crumpfield lane could do with a lift to roughly 5mtrs as it keeps getting struck by farm vehicles this would involve approximately 2.5mtrs reduction of tips. T3 ash tree growing along roadside boundary in need of dead wood as substantial sized pieces and hanging wood, also lower lateral growing over rd needs target pruning to lift crown away from rd as it is being struck by farm vehicles, we recommend 2.5mtr lift of lateral growth to create clearance

The trees in question are on the boundary between Lower Farm Cottages and Lower Farm, close to Blockley brook - a self sown multi stem willow tree, which has grown close to the garage of Lower Farm, next to the Blockley brook and out of the back of a stone built BBQ. It is overhanging all the other shrubs and threatening the foundations of the garage. It should probably have been dealt with years ago. The two main trunks are about one foot in diameter. Height is difficult to estimate as it's growing round and through other shrubs and out across the brook and grass. - a self sown ash tree growing within the V of the willow. A single stem with diameter about 9 inches, height about 20 feet. We would also like to prune back the small prunus tree which has grown misshapen because of the willow. The final tree is the maple by the brook. We would like to deadwood that and remove some of the lower branches, raising the canopy to allow more light and sun to the picnic bench

The tree order is a blanket order. The trees are predominantly crack willow and alder, rooted in the banks of the lake and its surrounding channels. The trees are too numerous to individually identify but a sketch plan of the area is attached. The area was once used for osier beds and is full of self-seeded trees, predominantly crack willow which have grown tall, thin and straight but are now leaning at severe angles and shedding limbs and starting to split and break up from the base. These trees run parallel to a neighbouring property's barns and outbuildings. Previously a tree fell in storms on a neighbouring barn. We have commenced work on the worst of the trees under a previous permission (DC/077859) but wish to continue. We wish to retain the woodland aspect but for safety remove any dead, dying and/or dangerous trees and coppice/ reduce in height the remaining self-seeded crack willow and alder with the intention of promoting a bushier growth at lower height. We also wish to cut back growth over hanging the water. We have a mixed hedge ready to plant along the boundary with the adjacent farm to act as a screen and enhance habitat. It is mixed deciduous trees (hawthorn, blackthorn, hornbeam, willow etc. TPO 10E.
