T1 - PAULOWNIA Tree is almost completely dead. Fell. Replacement paulownia has been planted elsewhere in garden Ts2 - ELMs. Dead. Fell. A number of small elm trees along the boundary hedgerow with neighbouring property ?Partridges?. Other trees will grow to replace dead trees from within the hedgerow T3 - SYCAMORE. Remove lower branch. Single long branch extends out over wall and roof of stables. Remove in order to protect structures just below it.

Gl. A group of overhanging Pear, Poplar and sapling Ash to rear of no. 140 and Maple, Holm Oak, variegated Holly and Yew to rear of no. 142. Works: Crown lift to 4m and back to boundary to suitable growth points, retaining overall height and form. Tl. Ash to the rear of No 140. Works: Crown lift to 4m retaining overall height and form. T2. A Lime tree to the rear of No 142. Works: Crown lift to 4m and back to boundary to suitable growth points, retaining overall height and form. G2. A group of two multi-stemmed Cherry Laurel approximately 2.Sm in height adjacent to disused stable block. Works: Fell to ground and treat with ecoplugs to prevent re-growth. Reason: To abate damage. G3. A group of Ash and Sycamore overhanging disused stable block retaining overall height and form. Works: Crown lift to 4m and back from roof to suitable growth points, retaining overall height and form. G4. A group of boundary Ash and Sycamore overhanging disused stable block. Works: Crown lift to 4m and back from roof to suitable growth points, retaining overall height and form.

G1 - Ash - Reduce boundary trees along side the stables by 3m.

This application is for ongoing management of the trees on this landholding (1 acre woodland, one acre paddock with stables and 1 acre meadow with boundary shrubs and trees). The objectives are to ensure long term visual appearance, tree vitality, biodiversity, good land husbandry and the provision of firewood, fruit and woodland products for the owners use (non commercial). Works will include small scale coppicing of species such as Alder, Hazel, Willow and Sweet Chestnut. The coppicing will include young trees/coppice stools on rotation and some older alder coppice on long term rotation. There will be occasional removal of lower branches to some stems to allow for access. These works will be ongoing over many years and will be the basis of a sustainable approach the the land management. Directly adjacent to the stables on the south side of the road some small scale tree removal is proposed. In this location in the past overstocking has occurred with a mix of willow, fruit trees, walnut (1), beech (1), horse chestnut and ornamentals (such as ornamental prunus sp.) The removal will focus on ornamentals and horse chestnut where these require thinning and to allow room and light to the more productive fruit trees, walnut tree and remaining horse chestnut. Some lower branches will be removed to allow access to retained trees and fruit trees will be pruned. This area is also shaded by a mature Quercus robur which will be retained. Some hedging comprising primarily as Ilex aquifolium will be planted along the highway boundary. Works will be completed prior to bird nesting season where ever possible.

No. 781- X Cupressocyparis leylandii- Clear fell due to increased size and potential risk to property, oil and fuel tanks, cast excessive shade and leaves shed onto nearby roof of a stable block and neighbouring property, increasing damp and weight on the structure. will be replaced onsite with the planting of 1 Liriodendron tulipifera No.783- Thuja plicata, No. 784-Prunus avium, No.785,786,787,788,789, Clear fell, due to proximity of neighbouring boundary and outbuildings, onsite Stable Block, unsuitable trees for there location, pollarding is not an option as this will cause higher risk of branch failure in the future and require more overall maintenance. trees overall growth habit are poor and have a directional lean due to over shading from coniferous trees, trees are also of a low amenity value and will be replaced throughout the garden with the replanting of 20 natives, and beneficial trees for wildlife and pollinators as apart of the estates plan of curating an Arboretum. No790 & No.791- Fraxinus excelsior- Both specimens are large with an overall height of 18m and a girth of between 570-810mm, Both are showing signs of Ash dieback and have been in decline over the last year with more visual dieback present. Due to the proximity of both trees to current structures at Manor hall and the neighbouring property Lakeview, to minimise and mitigate any damage to property or risk to life due to unexpected limb failure in poor weather, Clear fell and removal would be proposed, the removal limits the spread of this disease to other Healthy Fraxinus across the site. A British native mixed hedge would replace these trees
