Group 1, 4x Silver Birch positioned along the front roadside. All three are overhanging on both sides, over public footpath and road on one side and over internal pathway and growing close to windows on inside. Crown reduction of 2-3m from the sides of the trees to reduce width back to hedge line on inside, and to lift lower canopy above pedestrian height on roadside footpath, and clear away from buildings. T7 Lime, in the rear parking area. Remove major deadwood and squirrel damaged branches to make safe above parked cars. Crown lift to 3m above ground level to give clearance to pedestrians and remove epicormic growth form the base of stem.

To remove mature beech tree situated on the left hand side of front boundary next to both property and neighbouring property.To be removed due to being far to large for its surroundings growing way over property roof and windows. as well as showing extensive surface roots (pictures shown in application).Showing fears of potential subsidence to property.Replacement Fagus sylvatica to be planted in its place.

T10 Cherry (x1) - Remove dead branches from stem closest to the corner of the fences (it overhangs footpath). Reason: The branches are dead. G11 Cherry (x3) - Remove deadwood greater than 2.5cm diameter. Reason: General maintenance. To maintain the trees at a smaller size. T12 Amelanchier (x1) - Remove branches overhanging public footpath. Reason: General maintenance. To maintain the tree at a smaller size. T13 Norway Maple (x1) - Remove multiple branches as necessary to clear streetlight by 1.5m. Reason: General maintenance. To maintain the tree at a smaller size. T19 Tree of Heaven (x1) - Remove deadwood larger than 2.5cm diameter and reduce branch to give 2m clearance from dormer window of Abbey. House. Reason: Tree is gradually pushing out the retaining boundary wall. T20 Cherry (x1) - Crown lift to 2.5m all around. Reason: General maintenance. To maintain the tree at a smaller size. G21 Elder group -Crown lift to 2.5m over pavement. Reason: General maintenance. To maintain the tree at a smaller size. T23 Elder (x1) - Reduce crown back to previous points of reduction (2-2.5m off height and 1-1.5m off width). Reason: General maintenance. To maintain the tree at a smaller size. T24&25 Ash (x2) - Fell to ground level. Reason: Trees are pushing out boundary wall.

Oak (T1) - crown thin by 10% to increase light levels to the side windows of the property

My requests fall broadly into three areas summarised below. However, in total, I am making 6 requests (A - F below). 1) This relates PT 1 - PT 5 on enclosed map. These changes - overall - will align the size and shape of the main trees (PT1, 2 and 3), removing overhanging or damaged branches, and improve light access for all trees. it will also support the growth of PT4, PT5 and NPT1 & NPT 2A) PT1 - Oak - Remove dead or damaged wood, reduce overhanging bilateral branches by 2 meters, and Crown thinning of up to 20%, to increase light to garden and surrounding trees. B) PT 2 - Cherry - Crown reduction by maximum of 3 meters. To align height and shape to PT 1 and PT 3 C) PT3 - Sweet Chestnut -Crown reduction by maximum of 3 meters. remove damaged branch overhanging property / seating area.D) PT4 - Holly Tree - Reduce height by no more than 2 meters, and bilateral branches by no more than 1 meter (to maintain shape). 2) This relates to PT 6, 8, and 9 on enclosed map, this change is to ensure good woodland management. Due to lean and poor crown shape, felling PT 6 will drastically improve light to PT9 and PT8 which are becoming over shadowed. it will also improve light to PT7 and NPT 3. E) Fell PT6 - Larch - to ground level, as it is a poor specimen and it will allow the continued growth and health of PT8 and 9 (as well as trees and foliage that are within a neighbouring property). 3) This relates to a group of 15 conifers labelled GT1. 7 of these trees were pruned in 2014, but 8 were not. Overall, their height aligns to the roof level (some to roof ridge level). I would like to restore these (or complete an initial prune) to align all conifers to the 2nd floor window height. F) Reduce the hight of 15 trees by between 2 and 3 meters and uniform their height and align to 2nd floor window. Rationale: Some of the trees within the copse land to the rear of our property have had some works carried out in 2014, but largely the trees and copse area as a w...
