Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
I propose to crown lift single Yew tree (T1) to a height of 4metres and reduce branches growing towards property to give 2m clearance. I would like to do this to allow more light in give more clearance for driveway traffic, this would also include some branches growing over footpath which will prevent it needing to be done in the near future. I propose to crown lift single Horse chestnut tree (T3) to 3 metres and crown thin by uptown 15% I would like to do this again to allow more light in to the garden and get it away from hedges. If you would like to meet me on site or discuss further then please do not hesitate to contact me

I would like to do this to allow more light in give more clearance for driveway traffic, this would also include some branches growing over footpath which will prevent it needing to be done in the near future. I propose to remove single multi-stemmed Hawthorne tree (T2) it is within a large hedgerow and is in decline. there are large areas of dieback within the crown and the customer would like it removed along with a couple of other dead trees within this hedgerow. we do not feel there is an immediate risk of it falling but it is in decline and will need removing at some point. I propose to crown lift single Horse chestnut tree (T3) to 3 metres and crown thin by uptown 15% I would like to do this again to allow more light in to the garden and get it away from hedges. I propose to crown reduce single Cherry tree (T4) by 40% this tree has been previously reduced a couple of times and has now been left for some years and ha got quite leggy so I feel it should be brought down in height. this Is also to allow more light into lower part of the garden and open up the view that the property has.
