The trees have been marked with yellow paint by the council last year. The dead trees need to be removed and the crowded trees uncrowded. Damaged and leaning trees need some work to make safe. One tree has half fallen in the gales. it is probably going to fall in the garden of No 6 Badger Brook Lane. could fall on the house depending on how it decides to fall. urgent attention needed ! The TPO is out of date as it applies to all the trees in the area. I believe most of my trees do not need a TPO as they are forestry not amenity. They are accessed from a private road have fencing all around the area and a locked gate. Forestry trees are for profit not to look at. The ground is very acidic and nothing will grow under them, unlike natural woodland. The old map of the area clearly shows the difference between woodland and forestry areas.

The tree labelled T1 in the sketch below is an Oak Tree, growing on the grass verge outside of our fence, which is substantially taller than our house. The central red dot shows the trunk location. The larger circled area shows the coverage of its branches and canopy, including a shaded area that covers a vast portion of our back garden. Including other surrounding trees, I would say up to 90% of our garden is covered by branches. Our request is for permission to remove some of the branches that currently overhang our garden - we do not wish to endanger the tree in any way or remove any branches that do not overhang our property. I would suggest that a thinning of roughly 50% of branches which overhang would be sufficient. Our justification for this is as follows. Firstly, the coverage by this (and other) trees severely limits the light we receive in our garden. This has several negative effects. First of all it drastically reduces the likelihood of grass growing in the garden. In fact, the lack of sunlight has meant that turf which I have previously laid has not survived or taken well. It also negatively impacts any plants or vegetables we try to grow in our garden, as foliage beneath the tree receives little or no sunlight. As an enthusiastic gardener, this is very disappointing, as I am unable to grow vegetables or flowers that require plenty of sun to flourish. And finally, the lack of light has the unfortunate side effect of making our garden colder and darker. Since we moved in to our home last year, we have worked tirelessly to improve the garden space to be enjoyable, but during the summer the foliage on T1 blocks out all light, making our garden a far less inviting place to relax. Removing branches that overhang our garden would let more light directly into the garden, improving all of the negative effects listed above. Secondly, as this is an Oak Tree, the Autumn brings a tremendous downfall of dead leaves and acorns into our garden. Last Autumn
