3 Ash trees on boundary fence of front footpath to be section felled and stumps ground out

T1- Sycamore, H 10m, S 8m. Uneven canopy due to historically pruned away from street light. Recommend a 20% crown reduction of the whole canopy to rebalance canopy, cutting branches by up to 2m from tips. Reduction on 10m height and 8m spread will result in 8m height and 6.5m spread post works. T3- Whitebeam- Crown lift to 3m above ground level to give clearance to large vehicles. T4- Cherry, Crown lift to 3m above ground level to give clearance for pedestrians. T5- Cherry, H11m S6m. Crown reduction of whole canopy cutting branches back by up to 3m from tips to previous cut points to clear the tree away from the neighboring tree. Reducing height to 6m and spread to 4m. T6- Walnut, H10m S8m- Branches touching building blocking street light. Recommend crown reduction of the whole canopy, cutting branches by up to 2.5m from tips. Reducing height to 6m and spread to 6m. T11- Whitebeam- Crown lift to 3m from ground level to make clearance for the path and parked cars. T13-Oak H9m S9m, Tree growing from railway and over boundary fence. Branches touching the building. Recommend a crown reduction away from the building, cutting branches by up to 1.5m from tips, reducing the spread of the tree to 7m. T14 Oak, Lower branches touching the building and over hanging road. Crown lift to 5m from ground level to clear away from garages and large vehicles.

T1- Remove alder to ground level. There is a historical wound and rot evident at its base, the tree is also leaning away from the wound so there are fears it could fail. T2- Remove 2 conifers to ground level, to allow more light into the property. T3- Lift conifer by 5m to allow more light into the property again. The current height 15m tall 4.5m wide, no change for this work. T4- Remove limb off laurel which is resting on the fence to avoid further damage to the property. T5- Reduce hazel by 50%, this will reduce overly weighted branches and remove hazardous deadwood. The current height is 7.5m tall 4.5m wide and will be 4.5m high and 3m wide following the proposed work. T6- Reduce oak by 2.5m and remove lowest limb, this is to keep size maintainable in the future as it leans heavily over a public children's play area, and the client is aware of liability where safety concerns lie. Current height is 18.5m and 14m wide, and will be 16m high and 12m wide following the proposed work. T7- Cut back/pollard 3 alders back to the property boundary, this is to reduce weight as they lean very heavily toward the property. The current height is 7.5m tall and 2m wide, then will become 3m high and 0.5m wide following the proposed work. T8- Reduce Laburnum by 50% from 4.5m tall and 2m wide, to 2.5m tall and 1m wide to keep the size small and manageable for the client.

Removal of laurel bush - There is a large laurel bush growing at the side of our property on our boundary with 173 Cheylesmore Drive. This is an area which consists of a narrow pathway between the two properties with access to the garden of 173 and a small area of land on our side of the fence. The bush has grown extremely tall and thick and blocks light to the upper windows of 173. It is also pushing their fence over and they have asked for it to be removed. I am concerned that the proximity of such a large trunk right against our foundations may also not be sensible if it is allowed to grow any larger. There is already a crack in this wall. The laurel doesn't really serve any useful purpose and is far too big for the area available. I think that a more appropriately sized shrub or small tree could be planted here to provide good green cover between us and our neighbours without being so large and out of control and would welcome suggestions for something suitable which would be good for wildlife.

Erection of a detached 3-bedroom house, access, parking, cycle store, sheds, new trees and soft landscaping, following the demolition of double garage, garden buildings, conservatory and timber panel boundary fences.

Tree No 1 Large Oak Height 40m approx. Spread 9+ meters (Last work done 2006) Crown reduction by 5m in height and 3m in total width. Crown thinning by 25% To reduce overhang to neighboring property to prevent branches touching and causing damage to garage roofs and fences. (See photo 1 &2) To allow light and water into gardens improving the quality of the Oak and existing trees and shrubs. Keep the foliage within a restricted area as tree has grown and expanded over the last 15 years and will soon be touching the house Recover the shape of the Oak improving the life and quality of the tree Tree Number 2 Silver Birch. Height approx 16m spread approx 3m Remove the tree as it is dying and will be dangerous within a short space of time (See photo 3) Removal will give the adjacent Oak space and light to thrive. (No space for replacement) Tree number 4 Silver Birch Height 20m approx Spread 5m (See photo 4) Crown reduction of 5m Crown thinning by 10% To reduce the risk of damage to property to the rear and boundary fences. To allow light, space and water to improve the quality of the tree shape and foliage

Please refer to our advisors report. The proposal is to retain the existing chestnut pail fence and construct a new fence with a wooden post and panel fence at 2m tall. This will be erected as close as possible to the existing boundary fence. The specification provided by the client is a contemporary style screening will be fitted along the existing rear boundary fence line. To permit the development to proceed, it will be necessary to remove some stems of H5, a privet hedge, to which the largest stem diameter was recorded at 85mm. Some minor trees below 75mm in stem diameter were on the site but not assessed. These may need to be removed as part of the development programme - none of which should have any detrimental effect. All other trees are to be retained.
