TREE BELT ALONG ALMS HILL FROM JUNCTION WITH CAXTON ROAD UP TO FIELD ENTRANCE ~ cut back canopies overhanging road by 1m and up to full height (av. 10ms) to ensure vehicular clearance to high sided farm vehicles carrying hay to prevent tree branches dislodging loads on farm trailers / lorries which subsequently litter highway.

Mature walnut tree - Crown thin by no more than 30% to increase light to garden Crown lift to approx 3.5-4m above ground level to allow clearer access to neighboring property for lorries (Aim to avoid damage to tree from reversing farm transport)

T1 Box in adjacent garden (Home Farm) - fell to ground level T2 Row of Beech in adjacent garden on rear boundary (Home Farm) reduce height by approximately 2.5 - 3m down to previous reduction points. Trim back on garden side T3 Sycamore on left boundary - reduce height by approximately 4 - 4.5m. Reduce spread on all sides by approximately 2 - 2.5m. Shape round T4 Sycamore in front - Reduce height by approximately 4 - 5m down to approximately 1.5m below previous pruning points.

4 limes (G1)- to re-pollard to 60cm above original pollard point to prevent splitting out onto road and to maintain parkland within Burwash Farm.

3 No. Cypress (G1 - G3) against brick north boundary wall of property away from road - fell because of excessive shading, low amenity value and size in proximity to both boundary wall and property likely to cause problems with foundations - area recovered to be utilised for a garden shed and raised beds for planting vegetables with fruit trees as espaliers against boundary wall, replanting inadvisable in such close proximity to existing structures Holly (G4) along road side to front of garden - reduce height by approx 3 - 3.5m and trim back sides - no works of maintenace have been carried out to this tree for some considerable time and it has been allowed to grow excessively in an unruly fashion, proposal will check it's growth and tidy up the road frontage to Manor Walk 1 No Cypress (G5) against brick boundary wall and gable of neighbouring listed building (barn at Hall Farm) in rear garden - to be felled - fell because of excessive shading, low amenity value and size in proximity to both boundary wall and neighboring property likely to cause problems with foundations Works to be carried out by Eastern Tree Surgery of Swaffham Prior

There are two trees which need to be felled and roots removed. An Ash and a Sycamore. The trees are adjacent to a field access way and they effectively narrow the access so farm machinery cannot access the field. For this reason the trees need to be removed and not replanted.

Further details are provided on the accompanying Sketch plan (Ref 1) and annotated images (Ref 2). Consent is requested for a three year period. Note: A133 hedge not subject to statutory tree protection. TPO 0007 (1973) A134: A134: T1 to T5 & T7 are mature willow pollards which are starting to loose branches/collapse. 10m to 14m in height, 70cm to 180cm DBH. Proposal is to repollard to original pollarding points/sound wood and allow to regenerate. T6 is a semi-mature ash standard, low forked crown with early ash dieback evident. 14m in height, 50cm DBH. Proposal is to monitor initially but fell if the tree becomes dangerous. Tree not to be replaced as on farmed margin against watercourse. T9 is a semi mature oak with a low canopy. 8m in height and 25cm DBH. Proposal is to crown lift to 5m to allow agricultural vehicle access. TPO 0007 (1973) A139: A139: hedge of declining and drawn hawthorn and woody shrubs with occasional semi mature ash present surrounding pit (Compartment 9 in woodland management plan). 3m and 14m in height and 10 to 50cm DBH. Ash are varying stages of decline from ash dieback. Proposal is to coppice/lay the hedge in stages to regenerate, felling ash trees with advanced dieback as part of this process. T8 is a mature ash in very poor condition. Proposal is to fell and replace with field maple transplant, 40-60cms.
