T5-T18 Lapsed Beech Hedge - reduce trees back to hedge height at approx 2.5m because of structural flaws which limit their long-term viability. There are numerous structural issues as the trees are a lapsed hedge, heavy decline of one large tree suggesting root disease, various cavities at or around the roots and lower trunks the trees heavily overshadow Oldbury House.

T1, T2, T3 & T4 (applicant's references - as identified in photos attached to email dated 30th November 2022), all Sweet Chestnuts. Standing within a pocket of protected trees containing various other trees with stems also covered in ivy growth. All stand 14m high and 6m lateral spread and although the applicant wants to keep the trees as a screen, they request permission to have the heights reduced to 7m which would effectively coppice them, in order to promote regrowth on a smaller scale. The reason is due to the excessive over shading, debris and the chance of limb failure (limb broke from the stem, which struck the house front on a previous occasion).
