T - 1 Conifer fell as restricting passage and potential root damage to garage.

(T1, T2, T3) Oak stumps growing out of cliff face causing rocks to fall into garden, removal of epicormic growth. (T4) Oak tree crown lift due to crown touching garage roof.

We are looking to fell a total of 53 conifer trees and a bay. 18 of the Conifers and the bay are in very close proximity to a wall protected under the conservation area, cracks along the wall and adjoining garage, show that the long term survival of the wall is being affected by the location of the trees. The remaining conifers we wish to fell are taking vast amounts of sunlight out of our garden, the conservation area, and in particular the neighbours over the road. They are grossly oversized and are of course a non native species which isn't in keeping with the surrounding forest and adjoining orchard. We are aiming to plant 5 apples, and 35 bay trees (to form a natural hedge along the protected wall to the east and to the boundary to the north) in their place. We have spoken to an arborist who has advised that felling is the most appropriate measure to ensure the survival of the protected wall, improve natural light and to return the plot to a more natural appearance in keeping with its surroundings.

Holm Oak at rear of garage, pollard back to old pollard points.

Ash (G1) Crown lift to 3m and remove the lowest branch on the tree closest to the garage

T1 Apple - crown reduce by 1-2m to reduce branch end weight over garage building (deadwood two Oaks on roadside boundary)

Conifer Hedge - reduce by 10m; Bay & Elder - remove; Large Ash - remove the lowest branch reaching out to the garage to the main stem following natural target pruning practice; reduce the lowest branch over the lawn by 1m crown reduction to growth points; 2 x small self sown Ash immediately behind the garage - fell
