Beech Tree T15 Picture 1 shows the tree (fully mature 60 feet high) in relation to the driveway (access for all residents on the site). The branches to be reduced are circled, and are rather separate from the main canopy, which will be unaffected by this work. Only about three or four metres of the lowest three branches would be affected. These branches are often struck by large vehicles entering the properties at Stockgrove Park House. Pictures 2 and 3 show these in close up.

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.

G1 - G3 - 3 x Oak Trees - Remove major deadwood throughout whole crown area (Deadwood > 25mm in diameter). Reduce back the lateral extent growing towards the house and garden by 1-2m. G4 - Lime - Remove major deadwood throughout whole crown area (Deadwood > 25mm in diameter). Remove basal growth and epicormics up to 3m. Reason: To manage and maintain the trees within their residential environment.

T1 Maple. Crown reduce in height and spread by up to 1.5 meters to the previous pruning points, (but not exceeding these points). T2 Maple. Crown reduce in height and spread by up to 1.5 meters to the previous pruning points, (but not exceeding these points). This work is in order to maintain both of these trees at a size that is appropriate for their setting in the garden and within close proximity to the house. They have been reduced in size previously and the work is in order to maintain them at this size without compromising their aesthetic value.

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)

1no. English Oak Height - 20m Crown spread - 18m DBH - 1.2m Work required : - Reduce lateral branches by a maximum of 4m to the southwest of the crown, where they overhang Glanwin House. Reason : To reduce damage caused by squirrels and branches striking the property itself. This work has been completed before as routine maintenance. - A 1m crown reduction to be undertaken on all aspects apart from the southwest. Reason : The last reduction was completed in OCT/2009. There are multiple targets below the tree (highway, footway, power and telecom cables, property, vehicles) and many limbs are becoming over extended. The tree would benefit from a crown reduction it is long overdue.

Reduce the Holly (T2) at the front of the property to the following specifications: ? Reduce the height of the tree by 2-2.5 meters ? Reduce the spread of the tree especially towards the house by 1-1.5 meters leaving a balanced shape These pruning works are necessary to maintain the trees for its location whilst retaining the aesthetic appearance it provides. Where possible pruning cuts will be to secondary and tertiary points in line with BS3998

Sycamore T1 reduction. Works are required to the sole sycamore tree at the property to reduce in size and spread. The tree has not had any pruning or maintenance works undertaken since March 2003 (Planning application 03/00786/ATP refers). The tree dominates the garden and house and is located c.7 metres from the house - the tree is approximately twice the height of the house. The sycamore appears to be healthy; however, the spread and reach of the tree requires remedial work to bring it back to the scale as per the original planning application. There are branches which overhang the adjacent pathway leading to the John Hampden school campus. There is a concern that deadfall or other branches may fall onto this pathway causing injury or damage. Large branches have previously fallen on this pathway and more recently, branches have fallen onto the property, causing minor damage. The branches are also interfering with overhead wires and there is potential for damage in this regard. South Bucks Tree Surgeons Ltd have been commissioned to assess the tree and conduct the works. Their assessment of works is as follows: Crown Reduction - Reducing the height and spread of the tree by up to 2 metres back to suitable growth unions. Crown lift to a height of 7m. this includes removing lowest limb over pathway to school back to source. All other branches will only need secondary growth removing to achieve 7m desired height.

Proposal to reduce back to previous points i.e. 2 metres. The silver birch is in our front garden, very close to our property and close to several Grade II listed cottages. It creates a lot of mess and blocks out light. Our neighbours have all complained to us about the tree and if you wish something in writing they are prepared to do so. They also have concerns about the tree falling into the cottages and as this would not be covered by our house insurance. This is a very real threat being just six metres from the front of our property and adjoining properties.

Full description, and drawing and key to identify and locate trees, included in the attached document - "Proposed Tree Works - Old Quarry House - October 2022". Removal of Dead Trees: - Fell and remove dead Spruce - referred to in the attached drawing as T8 This tree has died, we believe as a result of Honey Fungus, which has previously impacted a number of other trees at the property. The proximal spruce trees in the neighbour's property, referenced N1 & N2, are showing signs of stress as well. - Fell and remove dead Maple - referred to in the attached drawing as T14 This tree is fragmented and intermingled with the Holly, denoted as T13. The Holly is okay, but the Maple has died. Again, this is probably due to succumbing to Honey Fungus. - Fell and remove dead tree ??? referred to in the attached drawing as T19 This tree has succumbed over the past few years, assumedly again, to Honey Fungus. Prune overgrown trees to avoid future interference with Power and Telecommunications wires, and to mitigate against clay shrinkage impact on neighbour's property: - Prune the Sorbus back to previous pruned size at previous tree works planning application - referred to in the attached drawing as T12 This is a very large, mature tree, and it was previously advised to crown reduce by the neighbour's insurers at the time that the insurers demanded numerous trees were felled to mitigate clay shrinkage, causing subsidence to the neighbour's property. The tree has regrown significantly in the intervening period, and it is proposed to prune back to that original size. - Prune the Maple tree - referred to in the attached drawing as T11 This tree has grown to the point that it is now very close to power and telecommunication wires. It is proposed to prune this tree to restore a reasonable distance from electrical and telecommunications cabling, enabling future growth without damaging this infrastructure.
