Proposed removal of 2 trees close to our rear patio doors - 1 x Yew and 1 x Holly. The size of the trees have got a little out of control, with large amounts of debris / fallen leaves now falling on our living area. The trees grow inbetween 2 original large mature Scots Pine trees, which will not be touched. In addition to this, we have a large mature oak tree in a corner boundary, that while growing towards the light, is also growing predominantly over our garage/extension roof. We would like to ask for permission for a tree surgeon to take some of the weight out of the extremities of this tree, in addition to some heavy branches that are growing over our neighbour's boundary into No 9 Ferniehurst. Please find pictures and plan attached.

T1 - Oak tree - Dead - Fell to ground level (Previously pollarded) T2 - Holly - Fell - Wholly overhangs boundary of 11 Portsmouth Road, so cutting back the overhang would leave a 6 ft stump G1 - Cut back overhanging branches from yews and hollies to boundary with 11 Portsmouth Road. Causing excessive shading and moss build up on garage roof

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
