4 large Conifer trees labelled 1-4 on the sketch plan. The plan is to remove them down to ground level . They are blocking significant amounts of light and are disrupting the driveway of Andway Cottage, two nearby fences and the shed of 3 Paynes Meadow. They appear to be the only conifer trees on 3 Paynes Meadow and Andway Cottage properties; other trees nearby on Pyotts Hill all appear to be deciduous so they seem out of place in comparison. See conifer tree photos document. 1 Hazel tree (tree 5) & 4 Beech trees - labelled 6-9 on the sketch plan. The plan is to remove them down to ground level. They are very close to the house, less than a meter, and are blocking significant amounts of light and overhanging the roof of Andway Cottage contributing to moss growth on the roof and blocked gutters. See Hazel and beech tree photos document. The work will be carried out by HGS Sherfield on Loddon.

Yew (T1) - Crown lift of shed roof to give 1m clearance so as not to damage fabric of roof. Tip reduce crown on North side of crown by up to 1.5m to give the tree a more balanced, attractive and formal look as the centre piece and enhancing of the garden. Work will follow BS 3998 (2010). The tree will have a uniform radius of c. 3m

Willow (T1) - remove large bough on eastern side of crown( as indicated by accompanying photograph). Crown lift branches brushing neighbours shed roof to give 0.5m clearance. Reason tree is shading the vegetable garden to such a degree that it has detrimental effect on their production. physically touches neighbours property. This tree is not visible from outside of property and therefore has zero impact on local visual immunity. Tree isyoung and of a species that the removal of the larger bough will not have detrimental effect on the tree. Elder ( T2) - Pollard to a 2m height. Tree has outgrown its position causing extensive shade to this and neighbours garden. abundance of deadwood within crown. The tree is of a species that will happily regenerate from the pollard at a more manageable height. Yew ( T3) - Re-pollard to previously pollarded point at 3m. Remove branches rubbing against fabric of neighbours building.This has previously been pollarded at this point as part of a regularly maintained cycle of managing the trees size in the confined position it grows and allow it as a continual presence for years to come. if this repollarding were not to happen the tree would soon obstruct the driveway and possibly damage neighbours roof. There would be every chance of branch failure from the pollard heads in the future.
