Removal of 3 Birch trees due to overhanging roof, blocking sunlight and being too tall for house insurance.

Leylandii (L1 to L4) - Reduction in height of existing trees to ~0.5m below ridge line of house roof. Trees cause excessive shading and at risk of breaking White Poplar (T1) - Prune back where the tree branches are now knocking against windows and roof of house

T1 Corsican Pine - Prune overhanging growth to Garfield boundary line. Full height of tree T2 Cypress - Prune overhanging growth to Garfield boundary line. Full height of tree T3 Cherry - Prune overhanging growth to Garfield boundary line. This tree is encroaching over and impacts on the house. Full height of tree T4 Goat Willow - Fell to ground and grind stump. This substantial tree straddles the boundary line of both properties, with the trunk and root structure now within 2 feet of both properties, and height exceeding roof level. It is at risk of causing damage to both properties, and is already pushing against our neighbours outbuilding. It further prevents fencing being erected to define property boundaries, and our side access gate from opening and closing. Both parties have agreed to its removal.

Willow tree (T1) on land behind swan public house, between garage and back of no4 chapel square. Tree is possibly in preservation area. Now needing up to 50% reduction to crown, including height, as it is over hanging roof of no4 so potential risk of storm damage. See location plans and photos attached.

1. Large fir trees along boundary to business park drive (coloured blue on sketch). These are part of a double row - the other half is owned by the business park and the trees were reduced in height around 2 years ago. Following last years' storms two trees on the other side of our boundary fell and we should like to reduce the 14 on our side by approximately half their height (still leaving them around 15 ft tall, to prevent risk of breakage in high winds in future and also to improve lighting to our property 2. Fir trees coloured green on sketch and leylandii (not coloured but running in line to garage). These were reduced in height two years ago but only by a small amount. High winds last year created some damage with falling branches breaking fences on both sides and we are concerned that future storms may bring whole trees down. In addition, the owners of the business park say that the branches on their side are potentially causing damage to vehicles parked there. We propose to reduce height by 15-20 ft (the trees are around 45ft high) and also to reduce thickness of growth on the far side. 3. Poplar trees coloured in dark blue. These were reduced two years ago but the contractors did not remove as much as requested (or granted) at the time and we are still concerned by the prospect of trees falling in high winds. We should like to do additional work , reducing height to just below the level of the roof of the main house 4. Mulberry Tree (coloured pink) -to reduce it in height by probably 2-3m so that it is slightly higher than what is left of the firs behind, allowing it some additional light. 5. Eucalyptus tree (purple) - lost some high branches in high winds - to be reduced and re-shaped for safety (about 10ft removed, leaving it at around 20ft high) 6. Fir tree at edge of garden (yellow). The reduction would be approx. 4m, in line with the above, potentially with up to 15% thinning of the lower

4 x Sycamore trees, remove branches overhanging onto house, touching the roof of the property, causing too much coverage/shade onto the side path and dropping sap onto the pathway. The closest one to the house will have to come back to the trunk on one side (varying between 2-4m). The other 3 further down the fence line will only need about 1-2m off.

Laburnum - feel because the tree has a fracture. The main trunk and a large branch have a Y shaped join. There is a fracture here the centre of the tree is rotting. While the tree is not very large both branches are large enough to cause damage if they fall. This would be either to the wall the tree is next to or to the roof of the house, depending on the branch. This is the only tree shown on the plan, marked X.

Trim and cap two large yew trees adjacent to the Northern end of the Old School House. The Yew tree branches overhang the Old School House dwelling and are close to encroaching on the roof structure and rest on some of the roof tiles. The trees in their current state also provide excessive shading and cause constant blockages of guttering and drains in the vicinity. Trimming of the yews to reduce the spread and overhang of the trees to prevent encroachment on the Grade II listed building and reduce shading. Trim and cap two leylandii trees at the North Eastern edge of the Old School House plot adjacent to the home's drive and Main Street. These trees are very large, cause excessive shading and may become unmanageable if allowed to grow further. All four trees will be professionally managed by a qualified arborist / tree surgeon. All four trees are to be retained. All tree heights to be reduced by a third. Ideally work to be carried late summer / autumn.

Tree works to be completed by Turney Landscapes (Quotation Ref M11123 from Dave Turney) as surveyed on 23rd Sept: (T2): Reduce the crown by around the same level as the medium Oak tree.The overall objective would be to reduce the crown of each of the trees by approximately 3.5 metres. Take back the laterals encroaching across the neighbour's roof by the desired amount to give a safe clearance from the roof line. Remove any dead wood from the canopy. Reduce or remove to make safe the old wound in the canopy to prevent failure. Small Robinia tree (T3), reduce the height back down to the previous level. Large Robinia tree (T4), carryout a 30% Crown reduction and tidy as required. Red Chestnut (T5) tree: take back the laterals encroaching the house. TPO? Hornbeams (T6): Carry out a 25% height reduction and rebalance trees as required.
