Tree work @ Shawcross 1942 sycamore - reduce by 1-2m 1941 Elm - reduce top by 4m side by 2-3m and raise crown by 6m 1940 Sycamore - remove spur with weak union 1939 Holm oak - reduce entire tree by 2-3m Tree works @ carlton house 1931 Sycamore - remove dead wood 1934 Chestnut - remove to ground level 1935 Beech - raise crown by 6m 1937 Blue cedar - reduce heavy limbs by 2-3m

T143 on TPO schedule Sycamore tree- 4 meters off the top height of the tree and reshape all round, approx. 3 meter reduction of lateral branches to North, East, South and West, crown lift to 6 meters high and remove low epicormic growth. Reasons New owners of the house and garden, the tree has been allowed to grow unchecked by the old owners, some works were undertaken by neighbours on the eastern side of the tree. The neighbours in no. 4 Holly Close are very keen to have major reduction works undertaken, the 4 meter reduction in height would still leave the tree larger than the last time it was reduced all round

T1 / Tag no. 442 - Sycamore - fell to as near to ground level as is possible; grind out resultant stump; replace with Acer rubrum standard. Significant amounts of structural and vascular roots have already been severed. Is within 2m of newly built structure on development. T2 / Tag no. 443 - Sycamore - fell to as near to ground level as is possible; grind out resultant stump; replace with Acer rubrum standard. Significant amounts of structural and vascular roots have already been severed. Is significantly suppressed by adjacent trees. T3 / Tag no. 444 - Sycamore - fell to as near to ground level as is possible; grind out resultant stump; replace with Acer rubrum standard. Significant number of structural and vascular roots have already been severed. T4 / Tag no. 445 - Sycamore - fell to as near to ground level as is possible; grind out resultant stump; replace with Acer rubrum standard. Significant number of structural and vascular roots have already been severed on NE side; tree has significant lean of approx 10?? to SW, overhanging roadway of the Vale. T5 / Tag no. 446 - Sycamore - fell to as near to ground level as is possible; grind out resultant stump; replace with Acer rubrum standard. Large cavity at approx 300mm AGL; multiple incidences of barbed wire occlusion in lower stem region. Within 4-5m of excavations for house building, meaning severing of major structural and vascular roots on NE side, (roughly 40-50%). T6 / Tag no. 447 Sycamore - fell to as near to ground level as is possible; grind out resultant stump; replace with Acer rubrum standard. Large cavity at approx 300mm AGL; multiple incidences of barbed wire occlusion in lower stem region. Within 4-5m of excavations for house building, meaning severing of major structural and vascular roots on NE side, (roughly 40-50%)

T1-Horse Chestnut: Fell and replant with a suitable replacement elsewhere in the school grounds. The tree is growing incredibly close to the northern garage wall and the house. Fell the tree due to being an unsuitable species to be so close to the garage and house. At this stage it has low amenity value ( The tree is a young self seeded tree 8m high with a stem diameter of approx 20cm) and would need constant management to retain so close to both buildings. Replant with another native species further from the house and garage where it could be left to develop to maturity with minimal need for further management.

Adjacent Gate T1 - Yew Trim all round into previous dome shape Adjacent BY Pole T2 -Yew Cut back to give 1 metre clearance from BT pole and lines Closest to House North End T3 - Yew Sectional fell to ground level South of T3 T4 - Yew Reduce in height by approximately 2 metres, reduce front by approximately 1 metre to balance South of T4 T5 - Yew Reduce crown by up to 2 metre to balance uneven crown East of Southern Boundary T6 - Yew Reduce height by approximately 2.5-3 metres to match adjacent trimmed domed trees West End of Southern Boundary G1 - x2 Yew Trim all round into previous dome shape T1 and G1 are yew. They have historically been trimmed to a dome shape. The suggested works will continue this maintenance program. T1 is a yew interfering with BT lines. The suggested works will remove growth from the pole to prevent damage to the lines. T3 is a yew, close the building, with an included bark union at approximately 4-5m. The suggested works will remove the risk of failure. T4, T5 and T6 are all yew. The suggested works will reduce the size and shape of the trees, improving the balance, to match the size and shape of the majority of the trees in the garden, allowing more light into the property.

T1 Sycamore tree in rear garden. Reduction of 25% to increase light into the back garden and house.

T1 Cedar: Cut branches to allow 2m clearance from the house cutting to suitable growth points and keeping wound size to a minimum. Remove dead wood. Necessary work to stop the tree interfering with the building. T2 Cedar: cut branches over neighbours house back by 2m. Cutting to suitable growth points and keeping wound size to a minimum. Remove dead wood. T3 Yew: Reduce height and width by 1.5m as tree excessively shades the garden. T4 Lime: Raise crown to 4m as tree excessively shades both gardens. T5 Horse Chestnut: Reduce height and width by approximately 3m to suitable growth points. The tree is suffering from canker and leaf miner. The crown is dying back and this work is necessary to make the tree safe.

neighbours ash - remove stem over hanging garden and house back to upright growth , reduce secondary growth on remaining branch and reduce/remove any other overhanging branches (see attached photo) cherry plum - remove 1 x overhanging stem

Tree T18 Walnut, 20% thin and lift off front of house Tree T19 Grey Alder, 20% thin and lift off front of house Work to be undertaken to increase light into the property and prevent damage from branches knocking house front.
