T1 Pine - Fell to improve usability of garden T2 Pine - Remove lowest limb growing over fence to rear reduce spread on house side only by 1-1.5m and shape into remainder of canopy

External wall insulation with smooth white render and replacement of drains and gutters. Addition of fence at side of house

T1 Sycamore - Fell in sections to ground level and treat stump. The tree is situated approximately 3m from the rear corner of number 38 St Johns Rd and low branches are touching or within less than 200mm of the wall, roof, and gutters. Buttress roots are damaging the fence. The biggest problem with the tree is the likelihood of it failing at the low union, known as an included bark union. When several trunks form close to the base, they affect one another's habit. They compete for light and space and end up leaning away from the vertical. Their branches form on the outside of the canopy making the weight bias even worse. Eventually one or more stems usually break away at the union and fall. The tree is left with a huge wound at the base and very often fungal spores colonise. This will usually result in decay and renders the remainder of the tree unsafe. In the case of this particular Sycamore there is no direction that the first failing stem could fall and not cause damage to property or injury to the public. As previously mentioned, it stands a mere 3m from the closest house.

G1 Elder trees/shrubs and one Sycamore tree - Prune back overhanging branches from my neighbour's trees (Burwell House) along my east fence line. Please note that the Lime trees in this area are covered by Tree Preservation Order E/07/17 and would require a seperate application.
