Reason for works: Good aboricultural practice managing the trees in proportion with their surroundings maximising amenity value. Some of the work listed is management of neglected hedges etc in the front garden above the house: T1 - Yew, 1m shorten laterally and reduce height to match, T2 - split Conifer, fell and stump grind, T3 - Golden Conifer In front of house towards drive, trim growth from faces and reduce height by a metre, T4 - Reduce crown of Cherry by appx 6 metres to suitable growth points, T5 - Cherry downhill along fence-line from driveway in front garden, reduce to previous points shortening by appx 6metres beyond this, T6 Holly: reduce by appx 4metres to height of elder in front and fell elder Lower garden working along the boundary. T7 - reduce large Laurels down to the height of the Cob Nuts (3m), T8 in front and then halve the height of the cobnuts (to 1.5m), also removing the dead Laurel, T11 top of garden, along from studio, reduce Cobs by half (to 1.5m) T12 Mulberry- Gentle reduction of a appx 1-2metre of lateral spread, to tighten shape, crown clean and gently lift and also remove any deadwood front garage: T14 - Yew adjacent, reduce crown shortening by up to two metres, Cob Nut alongside, reduce height fifty percent (to1.5m) and cut back from garage T15 Holly, reduce laterally to give a foot clearance away from the garage and trim height, continue this along the drive side Holly hedging

Acer T1 in front garden to reduce by 1m and thin the crown; Mulberry T2 to remove limb touching the garage and raise the crown above the garage roof

Mature Yew - T1 - Reduce entire canopy by up to 2.5 metres and carefully shape all round to suitable growing points and T2 Large Grafted Cherry - Carefully reduce by up to 2 metres off top of canopy and canopy closest to the house. Reduce canopy which is spreading towards garage by up to 3 metres only to secondary growth points
