Crown Reduction to T5 English Oak (Category A): undertake 2 metre crown reduction to improve light levels as well as reducing future stress on the foundations of the new extension. Removal of deadwood and improving safety. Removal of Ornamental Cherry T2 (Category C): T2 is a semi-mature cherry tree close to the garage, its rooting area is notably poor being surrounded by paving and driveway. It has slender form and its canopy touches the garage roof-line. T2 is in close proximity of the house so its removal will reduce future stress on the foundations of the house and garage. We propose the removal and replanting of a new replacement cherry. Phased removal of G3 Cypress Group (Category C): The trees were planted to create screening and privacy, but have not been height managed and are now excessively tall. The trees have large stems, some less than 2m from the boundary walls and close to the foundations of the house and not sustainable. The trees' canopies touch the house and roof-line, creating excessive shade on the south eastern side of the garden. G3 cypress are still not mature and can be expected to continue vigorous growth, potentially creating issues and stresses on the house foundations. We propose a 'phased tree removal' of G3 cypress group over several years. The removal of G3 will have many advantages, including improving light levels to the eastern garden and will be highly beneficial to nearby groups of English Yew (G2) G1 Boundary Cypress Trees (Category C): This linear group of cypress located on the south western boundary, has been left to grow excessively tall over a period of time and requires maintenance. Reduce their height by 50% to allow more light into the garden and create a formal 2m hedge.

T1 Beech front To improve light and contain crown spread, suggest: reduce and reshape by approx. 2-2.5 m, crown thin by approx. 15%, raise lower branches over boundary hedge by 1m (approx.) T2 Sycamore rear side Multi stem tree. To contain crown spread and give clearance over property roof, suggest: reduce and reshape by approx. 2-3m, clearance over property roof. T3 Sycamore rear right hand corner To contain crown spread, suggest: reduce and reshape by approx. 2-3 m, remove deadwood. T4 Ash/Beech rear boundary Both trees showing lower vigour with less dense foliage than other trees. Suggest: Ash- reduce and reshape by approx. 4m to lessen weight in upper crown. Beech-reduce and reshape by approx. 2-3m, to lessen weight in upper crown. T5 Sycamore rear boundary To balance and to contain spread, suggest: reduce and reshape by approx. 2-3m, prune back over garden area by approx. 1-2m T6 Sycamore rear boundary To balance and to contain spread, suggest: reduce and reshape by approx. 2-3m, prune back over garden area by approx. 1-2m T7 Ash rear boundary To balance and to contain spread, suggest: reduce and reshape by approx. 3-4 m, remove dead wood. T8 Cypress rear boundary Reduce in height by approx. 2-3m T9 Sycamore rear boundary Larger tree. To balance and to contain spread, suggest: reduce and reshape by approx. 2-3 m, remove dead wood.

Tree number - T2 Tree type - Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) Approx Height - 17m Location - Rear garden, Left hand boundary (neighbours tree) Service - Prune Work required- Cut back to give around 2.5m clearance from house and roof, pruning to suitable growth points/branch fork junctions where possible Reason - To give clearance to house, growth is currently touching roof and left hand elevation.

Tree number - G1 Tree type - 2x Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) Approx Height - 18m Location - Rear garden, Rear boundary Service - Crown Reduction Work required- Reduce crowns by around 4m height and 2m spread, pruning to best form. Remove major deadwood over 25mm diameter and any hanging or broken branches. Lift crown over neighbours shed to rear to give 1.5m clearance from shed roof. Reason - As part of regular maintenance, to allow more light to adjacent gardens, reduce debris and reduce potential for failure on longer end weighted limbs. Tree number - T1 Tree type - Holm Oak (Quercus Ilex) Approx Height - 8m Location - Rear garden, Rear boundary Service - Crown Reduction Work required- Reduce and reshape height by around 2m Reason - to maintain a compact, manageable form.

Variation of Conditions 2 (Plan numbers) and 5 (Boundary treatments) of application 20/0073/FUL (Joint application: Two-storey front extension, single-storey front infill extensions, relocation of entrance door to 24A to front elevation, insertion of storm porches over front entrance doors, single-storey rear infill extensions, two-storey rear extension including the formation of a crown roof to facilitate loft accommodation and the insertion of flank windows and rear rooflights and new vehicular access) to include single storey rear extensions and details of boundary treatments.
