Crown reduction/retrenchment pruning to encourage the lower growth to form a more compact and healthy crown. This to be achieved by reducing the height of the tree and the radial crown spread broadly in accordance with the red arc in the marked photograph(ref: 23/1781.TCA annotated photo 1) of the tree taken from the roadside, pruning back to suitable growth points or subordinate branches. The deadwood to be managed in the following way: Brittle/small diameter deadwood should be completely removed via a pulling test. Large diameter deadwood within the arc to be retained with its epiphytic plants, where feasible, with natural fracture pruning used to shorten those dead branches.

T1 and T2 Yews - re-shape crown tops by reducing by maximum of 1m, and reducing crown sides by a maximum of 0.75m (aligned vertically with front wall) creating a balanced curve. Minor cuts over entrance pathway to maintain 2-2.2m high clearance and to maintain width in-line with stone pillar edges.

Tree G: 'tree kicker' habitat features in the River Sid. The felled tree is winched back to its stump and secured back to its stump with 12mm steel wire rope (10 ton B/S).

T1, dead goat willow - fell to ground level.

T1, T2 Lawson cypress (yellow) : dismantle to ground. T3, Cherry Tree : dismantle to ground.

T1: Birch - crown lift lower limbs to give a clearance of approx 5m from ground level. To prune limbs overhanging garden / patio areas back by removing branch ends of up to 2m in length, target pruning cuts of up to 75mm.

General pruning of Yew tree that had its crown / height removed in 2016 under application 16/1185/TRE. This application is to remove the growth since the works under 16/1185/TRE with reshaping to give the appearance of a yew tree rather than a hedge, in accordance with the request of the tree's owner Nicola and David Meyrick of the Coach House EX12 3HS. This yew tree significantly obscures the view of 1 Eastcroft, EX12 3HS - if this application is successful, please could continuous approval be considered to keep this yew tree at the height approved by 16/1185/TRE to avoid new applications every 3 to 4 years as the yew tree grows again.

T1, Ash, T2 ash, T3 ash: dismantle all three trees to ground level as they are too close to the house and there is a risk of them falling onto the house and causing damage/harm.

T1 - Hornbeam - Dismantle to near ground level Reason for works: Some signs of dysfunction within the crown of the tree, chlorosis in the leaf and early on-set of stem dieback. The tree has got too big for its location, neighbours have requested action be taken.

T1 - Sycamore, crown reduce by 3m, MDC 75mm T2 - Cherry, crown reduce by 1-2m, MDC 50mm T3 - Holly, Trim low foliage away from roof, MDC 25mm Reason for works: T1 is particularly large and dominant over neighbouring garden, some limbs are significantly long and heavy - reduce to alleviate weight stresses T2 is a large specimen tree for its location, main union at 1m above ground level is showing signs of stress, reduce to prevent limb breakage and preserve the shape and amenity value of the tree. T3 is growing adjacent to nearby garage and is touching the roof, trim to gain clearance.
