BISHOP BURTON CONSERVATION AREA - Crown reduce 1 no. Apple tree (Tree 1) by 3 metres in height due to the tree becoming overgrown and for regular winter pruning purposes; Crown reduce 1 no. ornamental tree (Tree 2) by 2.4 metres to prevent nuisance to neighbour as it is overhanging their conservatory

T1 Robinia (left hand corner rear garden) - Remove major dead wood (of which there is quite a lot) and reduce live branches (by 1-2 metres) in an attempt to stimulate some regeneration. T2 Magnolia - Prune just to clear conservatory roof by 1m

We have a crab apple tree approximately 8 feet from a conservatory. According to Building Surveyor, Mr John Nettleton MRICS (07811 325800) it is contributing to some movement in the conservatory floor and sinking of the patio. We would like to either remove this tree or reduce its height. New height would be 8ft. We will use a specialist company AJH Tree Services. Please see sketch for position of tree marked Tree and the conservatory

26Oak tree (T1) to be felled to ground level. This tree has been heavily suppressed due to their close proximity to neighbouring trees. The crown is interfering with the better surrounding specimens by light suppression and crossing/rubbing branches. 2x Oak trees (G1) to be crown reduced approx 40% (4M approx). The trees are blocking a substantial amount of light to neighbouring properties & gardens. One oak overhanging conservatory, weighted in favour of property. Some stems have failed and fallen previously. Sycamore (T2) to be crown reduced approx 40% (3-4M approx). Crown causing excessive shading to neighbouring properties Walnut (T3) to be crown reduced on right (East) side 1-2M approx to alleviate lean weight and some wind sail. There is a large cavity at the base which has been historically filled with concrete.

Proposed plan to fell a large Cordyline Australis which is situated in the back garden, the top of the tree can bee seen from The Path. The tree is very overgrown, it stands over 3 metres high, it is situated 1.3 metres from the Conservatory and on the other side of the tree is the Oil Tank which is 1.5 metres away. The tree is not native to the UK and appears very out of place in out garden. The tree constantly drops large leaves over the path, garden and conservatory. There is also a very large Eucalyptus tree in the Garden (labelled tree one) that needs to be removed as it is leaning at a 45 degree angle so it is at high risk of coming down and would hit the conservatory and my studio. If someone was in the conservatory or studio at the time it would cause serious injuries or death due to the weight and volume of the branches that would hit the buildings. We have taken advice from your Tree Specialist Officer and he recommended that it was removed due to their very shallow roots, the angle it leans at and the proximity of it to buildings. I have planted 2 more trees last year in our garden, both Cobb Nut trees but in better location within the garden, and we also have a large Holly tree. We recognise the importance of trees within our immediate environment and within the wider environment and their role combating climate change, and because of this I am planning on planting two more tree in better locations and of a more suitable size for our garden.

Fell 1 Willow Tree due to impact on conservatory and drainage

T1 Variegated Leylandii - lateral prune/trim side growth by approximately 750-900mm, trim/reduce vegetation over neighbouring roof space/conservatory to achieve height of approximately 5.5-6.5 metres. T2-4 Silver Birch -to remove deadwood, diseased and dysfunctional material over 30mm within the canopy, crown reduce canopies by 1.8-2.4 metres and crown thin by approximately 20-25%

T1 Acer - Crown reduce by a maximum of 1 metre. T2 - Smoke bush/tree, unknown species - Crown reduce by approximately 1 metre. T3 - Eucalyptus - Pollard to height of adjacent conservatory(4m). T4 - Yew - Fell. All trees are in the back garden.

T1, Monterrey Cypress : located in rear garden on right hand side boundary next to yellow conifer and eucalyptus. Dismantle to the existing surrounding hedge height, around 2m, due to the tree being unbalanced as the north side of the tree has been pruned back severely in the past and is blocking light to the garden, long term wise this is the wrong tree in the wrong place. T2, Eucalyptus: located in rear garden on right hand side boundary next to yellow conifer. Pollard at around 5 to 6m in height at suitable union pruning points, due to the fast pace at which this species grows, my client would like to have these works carried out now before the tree grows any more and blocks more light to the conservatory.

G1 Conifersx14 - Remove due to extreme excessive shading, low amenity value, one end of row very close (<1m) to buildings (garage), with overhanging branches over the roof. All to be replaced with Laurel (or similar) hedging to a sustainable level of about 2m height. T1 Conifer - Remove due to excessive shading and safety fears due to proximity to conservatory.
