Removal of Holly Tree (T1) from the right hand side of the house (from the perspective of the road). A stump will be left

T1 - Maple - Reduce growth that extends towards the Matravers House back garden by around 2 m. Clear growth from around the BT cable and BT pole by at least 1 m. To improver light levels to garden below and Green house. T2 - Sycamore - Growth that extends towards the Matravers House back garden by around 1.5 meters. Remove any growth that grows toward the BT pole or BT cables. To improver light levels to garden below and Green house. T3- Sliver Brich - Remove all growth extended over Matravers House back garden to my property. To allow us to achieve this some pruning cuts will be made inside the neighbours boundary. To improver light levels to garden below and Green house. T4 - Rowan in severe state of decline - remove tree.

T1 - Ginko - Reduce by approx. 1-2m. Reason - Reduce back to previous levels to keep tree at a manageable size for the space and proximity to the house.

There is a young gingko tree next to the Chinese house which is being out-competed by a neighbouring cherry tree. I am seeking 10 years consent to prune the cherry to provide better growing conditions for the gingko. A cherry limb approximately 3m high will need to be removed to provide space for the gingko.

There are 7 trees affected by this application, all are Silver Birch, and the location is shown on the attached sketch, X1 to X7. They were included in TPO 29 1996 and were part of a group designated G3 in Planning Application 20/01790/APP in 2020 for what eventually became Tower View Cottage. These trees are approximately 65 years old (as advised by local residents who knew of the planting), but their growth has been suppressed for the majority of their life as they were shaded by other neighbouring trees in close proximity. At this age, even in good health, the remaining life is expected to be less than 10 years to failure or death, however they are all in the last stages of their decline and this time is likely to be considerably less than 10 years. They all have very thin crowns, and are sparsely leafed. Specifically there is considerable concern regarding the safety in the garden, and the proximity to the house and boundaries. Specifically :- X1 is dying, has significant dead wood in the crown and is leaning toward the eastern boundary. X2 is dying, has two major cavities at about 3m and is a potential danger to the house given the age and condition of the tree. X3, X4, X5 & X6 are all tall with very thin crowns, with minimal growth only at high level and are in decline. X7 has dead limbs at the crown and is dangerously close to the neighbouring house, Midcourts. This request is that due to the condition and age of the trees that they be felled and the stumps ground out. It is disappointing to have to request the felling of these trees, but given the circumstances it is considered essential. Therefore we would propose to plant 4-5 new trees around the garden, the species to be discussed with the Buckinghamshire Authority

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

* 1 x conifer The conifer is the tallest tree (c. 2m high) in the front garden to the left of the house/driveway. * To be removed to ground level with stump ground out. * X circled marks the spot on the sketch plan.

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.

There are 12 Leylandii Tree forming a Hedgerow and the front of property as shown in Sketch Plan and images. The 12 Trees have overgrown through the years and left very little to no protection below the crown of the Trees as you can see in the images provided. This is causing no sound protection and no visibility protection as the fence is also long past it sell by date. The new home owner would like to remove the 12 Leylandii, put up a new fence to match the previous which is a 1.8m-2m close-board fence and to replant 12-15 new Leylandii Infront of the fence to replace like for like what is already there. This will allow better maintenance and to keep in scope with the village requirements. The proposed works will be to carried out in 6-8 weeks which then also sees us past bird nesting season.

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.
