Species and Location of Trees

T1.         A Eucalyptus tree approximately 22m in height, situated on the left side boundary of the rear garden.  The tree is a little dense and out of balance.

T2.         A Laburnum tree approximately 4m in height, situated on the right-hand side boundary of the rear garden.

T3.         A Yew tree approximately 7.5m in height, situated on the left-hand side boundary near the Garden Building at the bottom of the rear garden.  The tree is a little dense and low growing.

T4.         A Holm Oak tree approximately 5m in height, situated 1.5m from the Yew tree (T3) which is considered too close.

Description of Approved Works

T1.         Crown thin by 30% including the removal of dead wood and necessary shortening of branches encroaching across the garden towards Woodyard Lane in order to redress the balance.  The height may also be reduced by between 15% and 20%, however, it is important to prune branches at convenient growth points where possible.

T3.         Crown thin by 20% including the removal of dead wood and lifting of low branches where touching the building.  The height and basic shape should be retained.  It is important to prune branches at convenient growth points, rather than an all-round reduction or pollarding which is not permitted.

T4.         Remove.

Details of Replacement Required

As a condition of the removal of (T2) above, approximately five replacement trees are to be planted on the right-hand side boundary of the rear garden.
