T1 - Atlas Cedar. Fell due to poor location so close to front wall, driveway and pavement. The tree has outgrown its available space and appears to be causing damage to the front boundary wall (see attached pictures) There is also some evidence of cedar needle blight causing dead tips to the branches, although currently fairly minor. T2 - Cypress. Fell due to poor form and poor location beneath cedar. T2 has grown rapidly in competition with the cedar, meaning that if T1 were to be removed, T2 would be left very one-sided and therefore unbalanced, as well having low amenity value. T3 & T4 Pine sp. Fell due to poor choice of species for location; poor condition of T3 and excessive shading of front lawned area. T3 in particular is showing considerable signs of stress with a very sparse covering of needles. The choice of species has made the front of the property extremely shaded - the lawn is basically a dark and unusable space. These pines also seem to produce a particularly dense network of surface roots. Given the proximity of the garage block and front wall, the applicant has understandable concerns over the potential for future issues. The applicant is amenable to replanting, but would favour utilising the wider border along the left hand side of the driveway when viewed from the road. In this way, replacement trees could be sited further from the garage and, ideally, further back from the front wall. We have suggested that 3 Scot's Pines might work as part of a remodelling of the existing border planting. HAR/CA29, TPO#: 81W, TPO#: 85W.
