Removal of Cypress Trees (Marked on sketch as T1 - Trees) Fell to ground Due to a ground level change with my neighbour (6 Eliot Close) where the trees are situated, my ground level is higher, and due to the previous owners poor landscaping, damage has been caused to the existing fence and decking area, which now need to be replaced and maintained. I propose to remove the existing trees which provide little in the way of amenity and its loss will not adversely impact on the character or amenity of the area. Once the repairs have been undertaken, I will seek advice for suitable replacement, quantity, species, position and size.

T1: leylandii: remove including stump, tree is too large for space it is in and client wishes to re landscape garden. T2: silver birch: remove including stump: tree is a poor specimen and will cause problems in future due to falling over. T3: Italian cypress: remove including stump. tree is too big for area it is in and will be in the way of garden re landscape. T4:leylandii: remove including stump, tree is growing too close to summer house. T5: goat willow: reduce by 2.5m to suitable growth points to maintain as a manageable tree.
