  Following the attached Tree Survey Report, our consultant (Sarah Duckworth) submitted a planning application 25/00224/TRTPO to have this tree felled due to the past presence of Kreutzschmaria deusta. Although the tree currently presents in good physiological condition, with notable adaptive “wound wood” around historic basal wounds, the presence of K. deusta significantly increases the long term risk profile due to its characteristic pattern of concealed decay and sudden failure without clear external symptoms. Given the tree’s height (17m), proximity to surrounding property, and the species’ known susceptibility to structural compromise when colonised by K. deusta, we are requesting a crown reduction to lower sail area, reduce end weight, and mitigate mechanical stress on the stem and root plate. This proposal aims to retain the tree within the landscape while responsibly managing the elevated risk associated with the fungal infection. Requested Works A sympathetic crown reduction of 3 metres overall, targeting: • Reduction of upper crown height by 3m • Lateral spread reduced by approx. 2m • All cuts made to suitable secondary growth points to maintain natural form • No more than 20–25% of the crown volume removed • Deadwood removal throughout the canopy This level of reduction will meaningfully decrease wind loading and leverage on the lower stem - particularly important given the past fungus identified - while preserving the tree’s aesthetic value and ecological contribution. Supporting Rationale • Kreutzschmaria deusta is associated with brittle fracture at the base, often without prior crown symptoms. • Reduction will lower structural stress, significantly reducing the likelihood of unpredictable failure. • The tree shows good vitality, so a light to moderate reduction is appropriate to retain long term canopy health. • The proposed works represent a balanced, minimal impact intervention that prioritises public safety while maintaining the tree’s presence. The requested reduction is a proportionate and responsible management action in light of the past fungal infection and structural risk profile. It will help ensure the continued safe retention of this TPO tree while preserving its amenity value.

  T1 Red oak - located in the front garden. Tree dimensions: Height 16m Radial spread 6m. The proposed work : To crown lift to 5.2 m above ground level over the road and remove deadwood throughout canopy. Reasons for work : low lying canopy is impeding the road and below statutory height. G1 Hornbeam x2 - located in the front garden. Tree dimensions: Height 10 m Radial spread 3 m. The proposed work : To reduce in height by approximately 1.5 m targeting previous pruning points and reduce radial spread by approximately 1 m to create symmetrical profiles. Tree dimensions after pruning : Height 8.5 m Radial spread 2 m Reasons for work : Group are in close proximity of one another and are now growing into each other. Prune to create to distinctive trees.

  T1 - Oak - Quercus Robur - Reduce Oak by 20% (1.5-2m) to leave a finished natural shape and slight lift of 1.5m on the NW side to balance the crown. Tree is growing near multiple BT lines and encroaching on the house. Tree was pruned 3-4years ago, re-prune as part of maintenance. T2 - Oak - Quercus Robur - Reduce Oak by 20% (1.5-2m) to leave a finished natural shape. Remove lower poorly rooted epicormic shoots. Reduce top by 2-3m as tree leans 30 degrees NW towards property. Reduction to re balance tree. Tree was pruned 3-4years ago, re-prune as part of maintenance.

  Scope of Works T1-T2-T3 Scots pine trees protected by TPO 8 The trees are exhibiting signs of multiple trunk decay points and from what appears to be lightning strike. This included with the poor form of an asymmetrical crown creating excessive leverage weight I pose the trees to be at risk to failure. As the trees are within reaching distance of multiple properties I advise the trees are removed to ground level. Method of Works To sectionally dismantle the trees to near ground level. The trees will be accessed using rope and harness. Aerial pruning techniques will be used to dismantle the trees into sections. Each section will be controlled to ground level using ropes and rigging. All resulting waste will be processed and removed from the site, all areas will be left clean and tidy.
