Trees in a Conservation Area - remove Rowan and Myrobalan Plum Rowan; 8m (Please see accompanying photographs; Dunedin_210723-1 & 2) An early mature Rowan tree stands just over 1m from the boundary wall to its south. This tree is being suppressed by a larger Whitebeam adjacent to it. Since the trees are in such close proximity to each other, the Rowan risks being swamped by its neighbour in due course. There is virtually no crown development on the west & north west sides of the crown currently. There is only adequate space for one tree in this tight location and since the Whitebeam is the dominant and more spreading tree, it would be sensible to pre-empt the Rowan???s demise and remove it now to make room for its neighbour. Myrobalan Plum (Cherry Plum); 7m. (Please see accompanying photographs; Dunedin_210723-3, 4 & 5) This early mature, overgrown tree stands about 2m from the western boundary of the garden. It has been grafted onto alternative rootstock and its imbalanced crown is now leaning to the east by approximately 9??. As is common to the species this specimen is overdense, prone to excessive shooting at its unions and as a result produces a great deal of twiggy deadwood within its crown. Once over-stressed, the species is also susceptible to the presence of fruiting bodies, both within the crown and in proximity to the rootplate; the presence of which will ultimately weaken and overcome the tree once they have taken hold, leading to its rapid decline. Remove tree as a pre-emptive measure.

Details of proposed development REVISED SPECIFICATION: T1 and T2 Pear trees, Remove due to low amenity value. The trees are both in a poor state of heath and are heavily Ivy clad. They are pushing against the boundary fence and casting excessive shade. T3 Pear tree, Remove deadwood, crossing branches and sprouts. Routine Maintenance. T4. A Griselinia shrub approximately 6m in height, situated towards the bottom left-hand corner of the rear garden. Remove, Overgrown shrub. T5. A Laburnum tree approximately 7.5m in height, situated close to the front boundary. The tree is a little out of shape. Crown thin by 15% including the removal of dead wood and lifting of low branches to the left side, also a vertical stem growing through the main canopy should be removed at the trunk. T6. An Elder tree situated close to the house on the right-hand side boundary of the rear garden. Remove and the roots grubbed out. T7. A Cherry tree approximately 6m in height, situated on the right-hand side boundary. The tree is a little dense and wide spreading. Crown thin by 20% including the removal of dead wood and necessary re-shaping. The height and basic shape should be retained. It is important to prune branches at convenient growth points, rather than an all-round reduction or pollarding which is not permitted. T8. A Cherry tree approximately 7.5m in height, situated on the left-hand side boundary towards the bottom of the rear garden. The tree is a little dense and wide spreading. Crown thin by 20% including the removal of dead wood and necessary re-shaping. The height and basic shape should be retained. It is important to prune branches at convenient growth points, rather than an all-round reduction or pollarding which is not permitted.

T1 - Removal of 2 x Ash stems on property boundary with development site at Land Rear of 182 High street, Tonbridge, Kent

Elders - lop elder trees where they overhang the boundary between 4 Ferens Close and the land behind the Charles Church Sands development, to enable a new fence to be erected.

T1 Self set Sycamore ( Acer pseudoplatanus ) located in boundary hedge to the front elevation of number 210 Mansfield road. This tree has been allowed to establish itself in an unsuitable area with little room for root development and in close proximity to the property given its potential size in maturity. We would propose to remove this tree.

Tree type - Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) & Cherry (prunus spp) Tree number - T4 & T5 Approx Height - 9m & 7m Location - Rear garden on left hand boundary and near Rear boundary Service - Crown Reduction Work required- crown reduce all over by removing approximately 1.5-2m from the ash and approximately 1-1.5m from the cherry, used as a guidance but pruning to suitable growth points for future crown development Reason - as per clients wishes to control and contain
