Erect single storey conservatory and car port to sides, raise height of garage roof, replace fencing to front boundary, install driveway gates and pedestrian access gate and remove existing tree at front of property

Horse Chestnut (T2). Proposal is for felling of the tree. Replant with one tree of more limited growth\easier maintenance, from the maple family, in similar position and likely maintain at half the height, that would provide higher amenity level to the community. Reasons for proposal- Roots causing damage to my close-by patio, through cracks to patio surround and lifting of slabs. Large roots are also exposed on the surface and higher than ground level. I have a close-by conservatory and this could be affected by subsidence if work is not carried out, - Branches spread out into the path of traffic on the Wood End road, and hit passing vehicle,branches spread into electricity and telephone lines of my property, year on year damage to our fence which borders the property, and so the fence has had to be cut to allow the branches to spread through onto the road. - Low amenity value, especially as we have other larger trees sitting close by on the same fence line. But partly due to the type and look of the tree, considering it has leaf decay throughout the summer months from the prevalence of the insects, so it looks unsightly even when in 'bloom'. It does not provide value to the community. - Excessive shading of garden, and its soaking up of moisture from the soil, results in an inability to grow lawn and garden borders in that area.

Trees in a Conservation Area Notification: MATURE OAK - Prune out any dead, damaged or diseased branches, leaving good pruning cuts; prune back the branches growing out towards the conservatory away from the house but not as far as the old pruning points; and reduce the weight of the branch growing out over the fence on the far side of the tree (towards the field at the rear of the house); HORNBEAM - Adjacent to oak; prune to provide clearance from the oak's crown.

Chestnut (T2)- Reduce canopy spread to fence boundary. Canopy spread is large and conkers dropping from the branches have caused damage to conservatory roof (photos attached). Also crack to garage floor which is believed to be from roots of trees. Sycamore (T1) - Reduce canopy spread to fence boundary. Overhanging drive.

(1) Copper Weeping Beech - Crown raise to approximately 6.0m, Reduce the crown spread over the garden to leave it no more than approximately 5.0m out from the boundary fence. T(2) Conifer and Purple Plum next door adjacent to the conservatory cut back to the fence line all the way up.

Reduce branch of large Ash tree hanging above conservatory by approximately 2.5 meters to the level of boundary fence.

T1 - Prunus - crown lift to clear roof of shed by 0.5m, reduce height of heavy limb growing towards conservatory only by 1m, crown thin by 20% heavy limb only. T11 - Prunus at end of court - cut branches overhanging tennis court perimeter fence line.
