  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.

  T16 - Mature Walnut Tree - Crown lift mature walnut to approximately 3m above ground level by the selective removal of lower branches to improve pedestrian clearance, access and maintenance beneath the crown and provide appropriate clearance from the adjacent garden structure. Retain the natural form and overall character of the tree. Description and reason for works: The mature walnut tree is proposed to be crown lifted to approximately 3 metres above ground level , by the selective removal and shortening of lower branches where appropriate. The lower crown currently extends down into the garden area and across the pedestrian access route, creating restricted clearance beneath the tree and interfering with the practical use and maintenance of the area. The low branches also extend towards and over the adjacent garden structure and restrict access around the building. The proposed crown lifting is intended to provide improved headroom and pedestrian clearance , allowing the area beneath and around the tree to be used and maintained safely and effectively. It will also provide suitable clearance from the adjacent garden building whilst reducing the likelihood of lower branches being damaged through regular pedestrian activity and maintenance operations. The works will be undertaken selectively, removing only those lower branches necessary to achieve an approximately 3-metre crown clearance . The natural form, structural framework and overall appearance of the walnut will be retained, with no unnecessary removal of healthy upper-canopy growth. All pruning will be carried out in accordance with good arboricultural practice, with pruning cuts made at suitable branch unions and positioned to minimise unnecessary wounding. The intention is to retain the mature walnut as an important landscape and amenity tree whilst improving clearance and access beneath its crown . G2 - 1 x Silver Birch - Remove major deadwood
