16 Primary Close Belper Derbyshire DE56 1FU

Reduce height of 2 Sorbus and 2 corylus. Remove 1 Acer. 1-Sorbus, 3-Corylus, 4-Corylus, 5-Sorbus: Reduce height to approximately 2m 2-Acer: Remove Work requested by tree owner and family due to area becoming cluttered and dark and now posing a concern for safety as the owner was recently burgled and at that time had no telephone line as it had recently broken. The assumption is that it broke as a result of rubbing on the Acer. The replacement phone line again is under tension from rubbing against the Acer. Please note that the owner is elderly and will not answer the door to strangers, any contact should be initiated through the agent who can arrange any necessary visits etc, via the owners family. The families details are available should you wish to liaise with them directly.

Lindfield The Dimple Fritchley Belper Derbyshire DE56 2HP

We met on site with David Cunningham on 18 June and discussed how the area has been quite neglected over the years, and we have a lot of work to do to try and clear some of the trees to open it back up again. We will be keeping the more mature trees and trying to create an environment that retains the important habitat for wildlife while removing some of the self-set trees. Although the amount listed on this form might seem quite high, it is a small proportion of the trees on the land which must be well over 750, and we intent to carry out the work in stages over the next couple of years at times which will not harm wildlife such as nesting birds. None of the trees are subject to TPOs, and also are not near or easily viewed from a public highway or right of way. Trees we wish to fell are listed on the attached plan as: 1. Self-set Ash 2. Self-set Ash suffering from die-back 3. Self-set Ash 4. Self-set Ash 5. Hawthorn 6. Ash suffering from die-back 7. Ash 8. Alder 9. Sycamore 10. Sycamore 11. Hawthorn 12. Ash 13. Sycamore 14. Beech 15. Beech 16. Beech 17. Alder 18. Alder 19. Alder 20. Beech 21. Elderflower
