Ash tree identified as T1 and yellow star on attached sketch plan. The Ash tree has a notable cavity which extends downwards from a previously removed branch on the South side (See Pic 2). There is a cavity (See Pic 3) at approximately 1m above ground level. The depth of this extends to approximately 50% of the stem diameter. Significant heartwood decay is also visible. The vast majority of the crown of the tree is located within the top 25% of the stem which in such an exposed location creates a significant sail effect. The immediately adjacent Ash tree has also recently failed having similar decay. This has also left this individual tree more exposed to the wind. Due to the now increased risk of this tree also failing and causing damage to outbuildings and/or fences the client wishes to remove the tree.

Ash tree A1: cut back canopy encroachment to viable growth points. cut back to 1.5 metres off current boundary fence to Wisteria Drive. Removal of all deadwood. Ash Tree A2: cut back canopy encroachment to viable growth points. Cut back to 2 metres off current boundary fence. Reason: tree have not been maintained and large branches continue to fall off these trees.

Willow tree within grounds of Falcon Mews Part of G2: reduce canopy encroachment into 7 Marples Mews back to boundary fence. Reason: The Willow is nearly touching the house and is constantly dropping debris. The willow is starting to over power her garden and would like a little more natural light.

T1 Horse Chestnut - Fell. Tree in terminal decline. Major limb/stem failure. Bacterial bleeding canker (Pseudomonas syringae pv. aesculi) infection. Small/discoloured leaves. Canopy dieback. Replace with 1no. Castanea sativa (Sweet Chestnut). T2 & T4 (TPO G1) Sycamore - Fell. Dead due to sooty bark disease (Cryptostroma corticale). Replace with 2no. Carpinus betulus (Hornbeam). T9 Cherry (TPO G4) - Fell. Dead. Replace with 1no. Sorbus aria 'Lutescens' (Whitebeam). T10 & T11 (TPO G5) Silver Birch - Fell. Dead. Replace with 2no. Alnus cordata (Italian Alder). T15 (TPO G6) Scots Pine - Dead. Replace with 1no. Pinus nigra 'Austriaca' clear stem/Pinus nigra ssp. nigra (Austrian Pine). T20 Pine (TPO G1) - Reduce first 2no. major structural limbs (approx. dia. 35cm & 40cm) located south at approx.14m to 15m agl, extending and sweeping south east over 1b Abbott's Grange. Cut back first lower limb by approx. 2m to 3m back to viable, secondary growth points. Reduce limb above back to first large viable, secondary growth point, to leave approx. 2m spread south and south east from boundary fence over 1b Abbott's Grange (see annotated photo 'T20 Pine (TPO G1) annotated cut lines'). T21 Lime (TPO T7) - Remove target stubs and epicormic suckered growth to clean stem up to 7m, including removing 3no. lower branches (50mm dia) south east (incl. dead branches) and 3no. lower limbs north and north west to clean stem up to codominant stem fork union. (see photo T21 Lime (TPO T7). Reduce remaining lateral spread east, cutting back to viable secondary growth points to leave approx. 2m from base of tree. Clean out to remove deadwood and truncated branches.

Propose cutting back branches that touch my house and or overhanging my garden to help stop the 'resin' fallout making my footpaths, summer house, fence, roof ect very sticky - it is very messy and probably unhealthy it is also diseased - leaves fall out in spring and are 'crinkly'. Previous 2020 Application DM/0937/20/TPO.

Lime tree identified as 001 on drawing: Crown lift to 5m from the ground. Crown reduction 2.5m from property and in line with fence boundary. Removal of basal and trunk sucker, crown thinning by 15% and removal of deadwood. Reason: Improve natural daylight into bathroom window and garden.

Ash tree on adjacent land: reduce canopy spread encroachment to 1m from fence line. Reason: management of canopy encroachment

Resubmission of works granted permission under DM/0428/14/TPO. Reduce remaining canopy back to closest viable growth point to fence line Reason: manage canopy encroachment over garden

Proposal: T3 Sycamore 11m M Good Twin stem at c.5m, hosts small diameter deadwood in the canopy. The tree has been damaged in the storms. Reduce the whole tree to sound timber leaving no scars to 8m in height. T4 Sycamore 12m M Good Historic stem damage, overhangs garden, twin stemmed at c2m. Girdled roots, overhanging fence. Branches close to the fabric of the house, No. 1 Waxwing Way, old pruning wounds. Cut back lion tailed branches to boundary level Tip back overhang to boundary line, this will remove 10% of the side of the canopy encroaching the garden.

Sycamore tree: reduce canopy spread to 2m from side of house. Remove decaying north facing branch. Remove 3 east facing branches with diameter less than 10 cm - 11cm. Reduce canopy spread to 4 metres around tree. Lime tree: lift canopy to remove branches to stop encroaching fence line. Reduce spread to 3 metres from base of tree. Reason: General tree maintenance.
