G1 - Sycamore x7: Remove epicormic growth to a height of 10m. Reduce the northern canopy to provide 2m clearance from the flats.

1no. Goat Willow Tree - reduce by 1-2 metres over car park, laterally reduce by 1 m of apartment building. Crown lift canopy to 2.4 metre clearance over parking area - within Ripon Conservation Area.

large sycamore tree to be attended to at the rear of these flats, which we manage. To cut back all round by 1.5 metres large sycamore tree after the advice and confirmation of local tree officer)

Works to a tree in a conservation area: T1 - Loquat x 1 (Eriobotrya japonica)- crown reduction, reducing the height by 1.5m and the lateral growth by 2-2.5m to suitable growth points - this will maintain the privacy screen between residents flats but also reduce the amount of fruit the tree produces. To maintain the size of tree it is recommended that there be a three-year pruning cycle.

REAR: ONE Hawthorn (T1)(ht:6m) FELL. Reason: tree is blocking the security cameras to the flats, ...

Works to trees in a conservation area: T1 - Large Sycamore tree on the right-hand side of front garden. The tree is causing excessive shading to property. Routine maintenance, reduce by 30% to previous points and remove lower limb on right-hand side of the tree growing towards building. T2 - Large lime tree in middle of front garden. Re-pollard to previous historic points and remove lateral limbs growing towards building. Tree is currently touching flats which is also suffering with issues of light and damp. Remove lower lateral limb to trunk and lower lateral limbs to be removed from stems growing towards house where more vertical branches are available.

Felling and removal of 3no. Layland Cypress Trees, 2no. Lawson Cypress Trees and 1no. Unknown Tree north of the Ripon Spa Car Park and existing Apartment Building within the Ripon Conservation Area.

Group G1 - this is a large group of trees running along the foreshore of the club on the riverside. It is predominantly populated by tall, single stem poplars and willows. The roots are relatively shallow and have a lot of decay present as they constantly under water and are rooted into soft mud. There were numerous trees blown over in the recent storm, some which were resting on the retaining fence leading on to the river. There are also various deciduous trees such as sycamores and maples at the top of the bank that have grown too large for their location. We would like to reduce the poplars and willows down to 6-8 meters in height to alleviate the weight and mechanical loading on the stems and root system. This will also prevent them falling onto the perimeter fence and causing it to fail. Some of them have been reduced in the past and will just be reduced back to previous points. The various other trees on the foreshaw need to be reduced in height to circa 12 meters to maintain a suitable size for their location. There are also various trees that are growing out of the retaining wall towards the river, these will be removed. The club have recently commissioned a survey from a specialist firm to determine the integrity of the retaining wall running along the clubs river boundary to assess the effectiveness of the flood defence. The report has found numerous weaknesses in the wall due to self-sown trees and vegetation which all needs to be removed before structural strengthening is undertaken. The idea is to retain the trees to maintain screening from the flats and warehouses on the opposite side of the river.

Sycamores (S1, S2 and S3): Reduce crown by 2.5m to a radius of 3.2m to lift away from block of flats.

G1 - Pair of Hazel -Reduce in height and lateral spread by no more than 2m, meaning overall reduction, or branch removal is by no more than 2m leaving the remaining tree no smaller than 4.5m or so. Trees located on the boundary line of the flats near tow path
