Species and Location of Trees

T1.         A Sycamore tree approximately 7.5m in height, situated close to the bottom right hand-corner of the rear garden.  The tree is dead.

T2.         A Beech tree in the bottom right-hand corner of the rear garden.  The tree is a little dense and low growing.

T3.         A Lime tree approximately 10m in height, height is situated midway along the boundary to the right of the garage.  The tree is a little dense and low growing.

T4.         A multi-stemmed Wild Plum tree approximately 7.5m in height, situated in the bottom left-hand corner of the rear garden.  The tree is covered in dense Ivy and is beginning to de-stabilise the 2m high brick boundary wall which is now leaning towards the adjacent footpath.

Description of Approved Works

T1.         Remove.

T2.         Crown thin by approximately 25% including the removal of any dead wood and epicormic growth, lifting of low wide spreading branches encroaching over the road, and the necessary shaping of the tree, ensuring the height and basic shape is retained. It is important to prune branches at convenient growth points, rather than an all-round reduction or pollarding which is not permitted.

T3.         Crown thin by approximately 20% including the removal of any dead wood, lifting of low wide spreading branches by pruning at the main trunk, and the necessary shaping of the tree, ensuring the height and basic shape is retained. It is important to prune branches at convenient growth points, rather than an all-round reduction or pollarding which is not permitted.

T4.         Crown thin by approximately 40% including the removal of any dead wood and Ivy, lifting of low wide spreading branches by pruning at the main trunk, and the necessary re-shaping of the tree to form a more compact specimen, ensuring the height is retained.  It is important to prune branches at convenient growth points, rather than an all-round reduction or pollarding which is not permitted.

Details of Replacement Required

None.  A replacement tree is not necessary as the garden is well stocked with trees
