As per included reports and Plan provided by Lowther Forestry. B111109001 Ash, dead/dying. FELL B111109002 Sycamore, crown decline, crown defect. FELL L052209001 Ash, Branch Fracture, Branch Defect, Crown Dieback, Symptoms of Chalara ash dieback are present. POLLARD L102211002 Ash, Significant symptoms of Chalara ash dieback are present, resulting in dead branches in the upper crown above a third-party garden. Further decline in health and structural condition is likely, together with secondary fungal pathogen. FELL L052209003 Horse Chestnut, Bleeding Canker. The lower branches of this tree hang extremely low over the main school playground, this is restricting use of a large area of the playground due to H&S concerns of potential injury to children, particularly to the face and eyes. REMOVE LOWER BRANCHES TO GIVE CLEARNACE OVER PLAY AREA. Cherry Branches of tree over hanging front corner of school building, which will potentially cause damage. REMOVE BRANCHES OVER HANGING SCHOOL ROOF.

T1 - sycamore (acer pseudoplatanus) crown lift, and reduce canopy away from building, to prevent damage to roof and guttering. T2 - Ash (fraxinus excelsior) remove tree due to tree suffering from ash dieback. if removal is refused then, crown lift and reduce tree canopy to prevent damage to building and guttering T3 - sycamore (acer pseudoplatanus) crown lift and reduce canopy away from building, to prevent damage to building and to stop gutter issues.

The tree species are fir trees. Three of which I wish to have removed. These are indicated as tree number A, B and C on the sketch plan. The proposed work is to fell and remove the trees totally. The reasoning for the work is twofold: 1. The trees have grown so much that they are now encroaching onto the side and roof of the property, to the point that one of the tree's has significantly damaged the guttering, and unless removed will do so again in time. 2. In order to make significant repairs to the outside side of the property including - replacing the guttering, facias boards and re-pointing to stop the incoming damp then we need to erect scaffolding. There is a significant health and safety risk to any scaffolding work if the trees are not removed from the side of the property, this is due to how close they are to the property and the steepness of the gradient. I would be willing to re-plant more fir tree's further away from the property, however would this really be necessary bearing in mind how common fir trees are in the region?

There are 2 trees directly across from property number 1, T1 (tree to the left) common beech (fagus sylvatica) full crown reduction and thin due to canopy causing damage to property roof. T2 (tree to the right) horsechestnut (aesculus hippocastanum) full crown reduction and thin due to canopy causing issues with light and television signal

Lopping/pruning of large beech tree where branches are touching the roof and gable end of a garage. Prune back to 3m from building.

Householder: Single Storey rear and side extensions, changes to roof layout, creation of 1st floor space facilitated by installation of front and rear dormer windows and roof lights and associates external works including works to trees.
