T7 Red horse chestnut to reduce lateral growth by approximately 1.5m. The tree has spread laterally over the years with some larger limbs protruding. With the new development next door there is also a fair amount overhanging the boundary line. The aim would be to reduce the tree to create a more compact balance crown that doesn't impeed on the neighbours property as much whilst providing more light to the front of No.47

(T1-T23) 23 x Lime trees along the development boundary with Rayleigh Rd - To re-pollard to keep under control and out away from the phone lines.

Cambridge Water Company to install a new water main, the felling of a number of trees must be undertaken near their Bourn Reservoir Site, north of St Neots Road near Knapwell, adjacent to Byway 14207 The new water main is being installed to provide water supplies to the Cambourne West Development south of the A428, approximately 2.7km west of the TPO area. The tree locations are shown on the plan included within the Preliminary Arboricultural Assessment - Document Reference rt-mme-159238-01_(PAA) (T1) Ash Fell (G2) Ash, Hawthorn, Blackthorn and Field maple - Fell: the extent of the works in the TPO tree group area will be 5m long by 12m wide between the Public Right of Way and the field boundary to the west and 12m along the Prow.

The trees are those along the south-east boundary of Plot 35 and the south-east and north-east boundaries of Plot 37 in the eastern corner of the development. Full location details and work specifications are contained within the plan accompanying this application. Note: We are aware that some of the works proposed are to trees that are not covered by the TPO. However, for the avoidance of doubt, all proposed works are shown and specified. We are happy to meet the tree officer on site to show him the works if this would be helpful.

1. Beech Hedge - trimmed to c.3m in height and maintained at this height. There is a Beech hedge adjacent to my property that has been allowed to grow to a height which is restricting the light onto my property and significantly overhanging my boundary. The hedge was never intended to be trees (c.27 beech trees in less than 8m) and at one stage was cut to c.8 foot. Since then it has been allowed to grow and if it continues will cause significant issues with our property. The trees/hedge are approximately 6 metres tall. The hedge is on a strip of land that is owned by Barratts Development PLC. The hedge is between my house (9 Filbert Grove) and Treen House. It is <1m from my fence boundary.

G1 - X 8 (approx.) Hazel (Corylus avellana) and x 1 Holly (Ilex aquifolium) Approx Height - 3-5m Location - Front garden and Rear garden left hand boundary Work required- reduce height back to previous by removing approximately 1-2m, trim back trim sides back to previous to shape and trim back side over public footpath back to the boundary fence Reason - as part of continued maintenance T1 - Field Maple (Acer campestre) Approx Height - 14m Approx Crown Spread Diameter - 10m Location - Rear garden left hand boundary Work required- Crown reduce back to previous by removing approximately approximately 1.5-2m but pruning to the most suitable growth point to maintain future crown development. Remove the large dead top of x1 limb (see photo) Reason - as part of continued maintenance to control and contain overall size of tree

T1- Laurel: shape back to boundary; to manage boundary growth. T2- Scots pine: shape back upper canopy from above building; to reduce development of canopy above structure of building and mitigate potential problems caused by congested gutters. T3- Sweet chestnut: shape back from building; to give 2.5m clearance. T4- Sweet chestnut: shape back from building; to give 2.5m clearance. T5- Oak: remove dead wood >25mm, extends over highway. T6- Pine: shape back from building; to give 2.5m clearance. T7- Sycamore, self seeded: remove to ground level, no value and potential for future issues. T8- Hazel: shape back from building; to give 2.5m clearance. T9- Oak: shape back from building; to give 2.5m clearance and remove low branch, to open area below. T10- Sweet chestnut: shape back from building; to give 2.5m clearance T11 Oak: shape back from building; to give 2.5m clearance. T12- Sorbus: reduce and reshape canopy; to improve appearance and manage size. T13,14,15 Birch trees x3: reduce and reshape, atop retaining wall; to maintain canopy size and habit in keeping with the current state and to manage development with consideration to location atop retaining structure. T16- Buddleia: shape back from building; aesthetics T17 Ash tree: reduce and reshape to manage development of canopy size, and for aesthetics. ( Works subject to TPO 626/0048/1961 )

1x katsura (rear garden): cut back overhanging branches extending into new development in ordnance mews cutting at the boundary line, to the nearest growth point.

Felling of Honey Locust Tree very close (17cm) to boundary of neighbouring property: The tree has grown to a substantial height (approximately 14m) and width (approximately 8m) and is causing damage to a neighbouring property. The tree has been through a growth phase this year and the roots of the tree have pushed up and damaged disrupted the outdoor paving at 2 The Maltings, High Street, Chesterton. There is an additional potential threat to the structural integrity of 2 The Maltings with the edge of the trunk being only 2.42m away from the kitchen wall of the property - the honey locust tree canopy has increased this year and grown over the roof of 2 The Maltings - root growth from the tree is likely to further extend towards the property risking further damage. This application seeks permission to fully remove this tree. The removal of the tree has been granted under a separate planning permission relating to 29 High Street, Chesterton, Cambridge CB4 1NQ (21/00537/FUL) - however it may be some time before this development is built out, and due to the tree causing damage to the neighbouring property this application seeks to remove it as soon as possible.

T1: T1: Fell to ground. Dead pine. Approximately 10 metres high. One metre from footpath which has public right of way. It will become a risk of falling. No replanting to allow development of surrounding trees (including Oak labelled T6 on diagram, the trunk of the oak is 4ms from dead pine. The oak has a canopy of approx. 20ms circumference)" Hedge: A holly hedge on the North West boundary is dying gradually. Presumably, the overhanging birch (T2 and T3) and oak branches (T4, T5 and T6) in our neighbours garden have provided inadequate light for it to survive. Several dead holly trunks have been removed over several years. Other dead trunks remain. The trunks now have extensive growth of ivy and climbing weed. The holly hedge bordering the house is unsightly for the neighbours (Anfield). It has no amenity value. We would like to remove the line of holly hedge as marked above and replace with a fence. The holly hedge away from the house and bordering the garden remains strong and will remain as it is. There is no record in our deeds to suggest the hedge has a protection order. We have 50 ms of holly hedge elsewhere in the garden. Please confirm that permission is not required to remove the dying/dead holly hedge, or please provide approval.
