4 x Sycamore trees - Crown reduction to achieve clearance from property at 16 The Boundary of 10m due to excessive shading, over reaching property, external garage, fence/property, damage to fence due to branch falling and crown lift to 10m

Notice of intent to carry out works to trees protected by Tree Preservation Order 23/82 - r/o 15 Edmund Green. Growing adjacent to the PROW that gives access to the nature reserve from the west, is a Purple Leaved Plum, within the Conservation Area. It has two stems, sub-lateral branches from which are resting on the garage roof of no 15. It is proposed to reduce the height of the smaller stem to the height of the existing fence, as previously done, and to crown lift the sub-laterals of the remaining stem to give approximately 0,5m clearance to the garage roof. r/o 56 Edmund Green, growing adjacent to the path that gives access to the nature reserve from Greenfields, is a group of 5 closely spaced Common Oak, that overhang the rear garden of no 56, to an oppressive extent. Also, branches from the tree numbered 2 on the attached plan are in contact with the tiled roof of the out-house. It is proposed to crown lift tree no 3 to give approximately 0.5m clearance to the out-house roof, and to reduce the lateral spread of the remainder (mainly trees 3 and 6) above the garden by approximately 2m, cutting back to suitable growth points.

Proposed 40% reduction to Ash tree (T7 of TPO 173) Tree to be pruned back 40% to its last size when works were approved by Mr. Bob Clarke at Watford Council. Tree has grown back substantially in size, overlapping over the back wall and side fence to our neighbours property, also getting very close to our garage roofing and side. Has already caused blockage to the drainpipe and damage to the pvc pipe (now replaced). Dead branches have fallen causing a potential danger hazard as we have two small children playing in the garden. It has been over 10 years since it's last prune and is in need of a new one.
