T2 Sycamore: Observations. This sycamore tree is situated at the front of the house. Suggested Works: Crown Reduction - Reducing the height and spread of the tree by up to 2 metres. Remove all arisings. Works kindly requested by resident who feels tree is becoming large for its position and would like to contain, maintain and cosmetically balance. G1 Mixed: PLEASE NOTE: Trees belong to resident at 11 Hale Road, Wendover, HP22 6NE Observations. This group of trees consisting of Hazel, Field Maple and Ash are touching the client's house, which the client has reported is causing damage to their roof. Suggested works: Side back growth from side of house to give 1m clearance.

Common Beech tree (Fagus Sylvatica) to west of house (T1 on plan) has grown vigorously to the south east and now overlaps the house with branches in contact with the house roof. Tree to be trimmed by up to 2.4m to maintain adequate clearance from the property and to reduce the drip line from the roof. Work is to protect both the tree and the house from damage due to contact.

1 Bay tree (hidden under cherry tree planted in 1 The Croft). 30% height reduction plus pruning 2 Bronze leafed tree - up to 50% reduction of the height of the crown. Previous pruning led to a growth spurt, so there are lots of small branches growing straight up and we'd like to prune those out 3 Leylandii -up to 30% reduction to keep in check 4 Leylandii - 5 A group of three silver barked birch trees. These need reduction of about 25% as they are now very close to the roof of the house. 6 Yew tree 30% height reduction and pruning as the space is very congested. 7 Holly tree - not sure if this counts as a tree or shrub. About 20% all round prune to get back to a (more or less) conical shape

A limb of a multi-stemmed Lime tree failed and fell on the garage roof of a residential house. I have cleared the fallen stem but would like consent to coppice the remainder of the tree to ground level as I am concerned from a safety perspective due to decay in the base.

T1 : Willow. Removal to ground level . Tree is dead. T2-T3: Maple. Reduce majority of crown to historic wounds ( 2-3m) to create a smaller balanced crown ( please see image 2) . Reduce lateral spread over neighbouring boundary to approx 1 m beyond historic wounds ( 3-4m) . This is to minimise the growth over the roof and against house. ( Please see image 3)

I would like to request the complete removal of the Sycamore tree as it is located too close to my home and has become a hazard. Its branches and leaves are overhanging the roof of my house and its roots have started to encroach on the foundation of the property. In addition, grey squirrels have been using the tree to gain access to my loft space and this is causing damage to the insulation. Given these issues, I believe that the removal of the tree is necessary to avoid any potential damage to the property, both structurally and environmentally. Please let me know if you require any further information or if there are any additional steps that I need to take to facilitate the removal of the tree.

T1 Beech: Crown lift to provide clearance of 1.8 metres from roof and front facade of house + clearance of 2.2 metres above ground level (all branches to be removed shall be sub-50mm diameter)

Removal of a Cherry tree at the front entrance to our driveway. On the right hand side as you look at the house. This is to assist with light into the building and to prevent squirrels jumping on to our thatched roof.

The tree in question is a silver birch. The tree is now between 15 and 20m tall, located in the middle of the garden. It presents a danger to the house (which is less than 15m away). It also prevents our plans for solar panels on the south facing garage roof to the rear (subject to heritage permission as we are a grade II listed building), and it is far too large for the location it currently occupies. When planted, the tree was at the end of the garden (hence the boundary of the conservation area was set at the end of the original garden. Since then however the garden has been extended, and the tree has grown to a height out of proportion with its location in the garden. Our plan is to replace this tree with two much smaller ornamental cherry trees, which will be kept at the same height as the apple trees on the other side of the path (see photo 3) around 3-5 meters high. We will take down the tree, and use the majority of the canopy for mulch within our garden. Once the root is ground out the new trees will be planted. We have taken advice from Nick Hanks at Greensleeves Estate and Countryside management who has done work on the tree in the past, but taking height out of the tree will leave it misshapen, as its not a species that responds well to having the canopy reduced, and as we would like to fit solar panels over the next couple of years, this work would be a precursor to any solar work being successful. The work to remove the tree will be done by Greensleeves and the timing of the work also agreed with Greensleeves to avoid any sensitive times of year, particularly nesting season.

The Sycamore tree, shown as T1 on the attached site plan, was the subject of a previous application in 2013 to reduce the crown because of fears that the tree was in close proximity of the Old Mill, a grade 2 listed building and could damage the building fabric. The tree sits on the bank of a raised former mill dam and has a large number of exposed roots. A full arboriculturist and engineering report was provided to support this application. At the time, the view of the Heritage officer, Julia Foster, was to remove the tree if it presented any further risk to the building. We were reluctant to remove the tree and chose to follow the pollarding route. This was approved and works subsequently undertaken by Pat Kernan, tree surgeon. Recent history The tree, being located on the bank of the millstream, has grown considerably in size. The roots are exposed and the recent high winds showed the tree moving significantly in the wind. It is not beyond bounds that then tree could be ripped up at its roots and topple on the listed building or neighbours buildings at Paradise House. It now presents an even greater risk to the listed building, as shown below. On Monday the 29th of June 2021 at approximately 3 pm in the afternoon, major damage resulted from a large branch blown down from a protected sycamore tree on the western boundary of the property which struck the south-west corner of the building, damaging the roof, dislodging the top of a dormer window, tearing off the gutters and their brackets and knocking down a twin wall stove flue attached to the building. Damage has been done to the brickwork where the flue brackets were ripped off. This resulted in over ??8,000 worth of damage We now wish to either remove the tree or significantly reduce the height of the tree to say four metres.
