1. Silver birch - Crown reduce by 2.5m in height, reshape the top to match in with the new reduced canopy line. Repeat of work previously approved under 17/02838/CA and removal of central trunk which overhangs neighbouring 12 Oakland Terrance, in order to prevent damage to boundary wall and to prevent insect problem reported by neighbour as the tree overhang is close to a bedroom window.

Japanese Maple - Fell and replace with new tree, like-for-like. Tree is encroaching on neighbour's property (#7), the trunk is across both my and neighbour's fence line, damaging fence Plants in neighbour's garden are dying off, as they are not getting sufficient light due to the enormous amount of shading cast. Also concern on roots for such a large tree going under neighbour's pond and also potentially main properties. As per attached plan, the coverage of the tree is the same size as our entire garden and we are unable to grow plants for the vast for the majority of the garden. During summer, no visibility out of main bedroom window, as tree covers entire view. (To clarify, have discussed this with neighbour who is very keen for tree to be removed also.)

T1 - Purple Maple (Front of House) - Fell. Tree is very large and too close to house (High Gables). Tree roots are undermining existing driveway. The size and position restricts light to front windows of house. 2. T3 - Willow (Rear of House) - Fell. This tree is too close to existing weeping willow tree (T4). Trees are very close together so we would like to remove the smaller willow to encourage the growth of T4.
