We wish to fell a Leylandii, approx height 25ft, approx spread 20 feet, shown in black on sketch. It is growing very close to and shading out established hazel trees and some fruit trees planted within the last 5 years. The lowest branches are less than 1 foot from the ground, preventing vegetation and providing dense cover for rats. There is no wildlife value, unless you count the rats. There are 40 other trees on the site, mostly established native deciduous species including oak; horse chestnut; lime; hazel; sycamore; ash; rowan; willow. We have also planted a range of fruit trees including apple, cherry, plum and walnut. The plot is on the other side of the A149 from our house. The sketch shows the approx 0.5 acre section in which the tree is growing. The remaining 0.2 acres consists of a parking area, shed and vegetable garden. There are no trees in this area. We will replace the felled tree with an appropriate native tree of higher wildlife value e.g. a rowan.

Removal of x1 Eucalyptus tree I have asked the permission of the next door neighbour, who currently has two "mechanically" broken vehicles residing directly under the trees overhanging branches, they have agreed and as long as the vehicles can be moved, I'd like to seek the permission of the local authority to remove this tree. Tree is not native to the UK and is prone to branches snapping and the array of branches look unsafe, and it would be sensible for the tree to be felled before replacement of the shed and using the drive for vehicles. the previous occupant parked her small smart sized vehicle right up against the front door. As a new occupier i need to use the driveway. There is no set off or parking available on the highway. I have included photos to show the trees position and the state of the branches. I do not wish to replant any tree as there are already substantial trees to the east and west of it's location along the rear and side property boundary, also this current tree within 5 meters of the neighbouring property.

Front garden: Pine tree; Reduce height to below telephone wire, Rear garden: 2 Sycamore trees on boundary in neighbouring property, Tree 1 beside the shed; Crown lift 2 lower limbs, Tree 2 beside the greenhouse; Crown lift storm damaged limb, Crown lift 4 small limbs over the greenhouse, Yew Tree on boundary in neighbouring property; Crown lift 4 limbs and Tree next to Eucalyptus tree (species unknown); Remove low large limb and dead wood the tree

T1 - Yew, reduce by 50% as first part of phased reduction. Currently trimmed as a hedge on west side, but allowed to grow out in all other directions. Phased reduction planned over two growing seasons to create normal form, T2 - Blackthorn, reduce from 6m down to 2m to allow regeneration, T3 - Holly, reduce from 6m down to 2m to allow regeneration, T4 - Cypress, 6m, fell, T5 - Blackthorn, 4m, fell. Leggy and in contact with shed roof, T6 - 2 x hazel stools, coppice, T7 - Sycamore, remove dead wood and crown lift to 4m, T8 and T9 - 2 x hollies, reduce from 7m down to 2m to allow regeneration.

Alder (Alnus glutinosa) situated next to garden shed. It's grown very large and is blocking light from the social club next to my cottage as well as casting a long shade over my garden. If it was to come down it would certainly hit the social club. I originally wanted to remove one of the two trunks (the other is less dominant and leaning backwards so not a problem) however the tree surgeon has suggested this isn't a viable long term solution because the resulting would inevitably rot and eventually destabilise the remaining trunk. He has suggested removing the tree entirely and replacing with something more appropriate. I am proposing a silver birch (Betula pendula) or a winter flower cherry (Prunus subhirtella Autumnalis) situated a bit further back in the corner of the back of the garden.

Removal of Tree 1 - Wild Plum, Tree 2 - Beech (Both trees have rotting trunks and have shed dead branches. Tree 1 is at a precarious angle. Tree 2 could damage the building/ cart shed and parking area of the property)
