  T1 - Norway Maple - Reduce canopy height and lateral spread 3-4m back towards previous reduction points. Cuts will be made back to suitable growth points from which point the tree can be maintained in a reduced pollarded form. Reason: T1 (Norway Maple) is a suppressed tree of poor form and with a stem defect. The overhanging canopy of T1 has a significant impact on the garden of 1 Seymour Drive and breaking branches cause a nuisance to residents. Works are recommended to reduce the canopy to alleviate the nuisance to residents from which point the tree can be managed in a reduced pollarded form. As the tree has no wider visual amenity value from a public viewpoint, the quality and canopy cover of trees within the Brackens Estate and wider Woodland Tree Preservation Order will not be undermined.

  Proposed work: tree #2 on the sketch provided: Pine tree located adjacent to my property's south boundary - Fell (See below for further guidance from expert) tree #1 on the sketch provided: Sweet Chetsnut - Pruning following further guidance from expert (See below) Expert Report: Following up from yesterday’s site assessment regarding the location of the replacement Scots Pine, conditioned in respect of the removal of T1 Pine of tree work application 25/00207/TRTPO, the attached plan indicates the 2 most appropriate locations for the new tree. Given the maturity of the adjacent residual trees that comprise ‘woodland’ designation W2, spanning the rear of your property, it is important to ensure the new tree is, as far as is possible, planted under a gap in the above canopy. It light of what I witnessed the most foreseeably ideal location would be to plant the Pine to the north side of your property. With regard the consideration of the additional Pine located adjacent to your property’s south boundary (#2 on the sketch) , mentioned in Sarah’s delegated report, copy attached for convenience, its condition is clearly struggling, and the removal of the moribund branch would foreseeably lead to further physiological and structural stress for this tree. On this basis, and to avoid any onerous burden, its removal would be acceptable if a fresh application were to be submitted. Whilst T3 Sweet chestnut’s work proposal, in accordance with 25/00207/TRTPO, was refused, there is scope to carry out peripheral reduction on the East side of its crown, only. The crown extends circa 14m East, the outer approximate 2/3m of has suitable pruning points that would withstand shortening of no more than 1.5m, be consistent with current arboricultural standards and would proportionately adjust T3’s form due to the consented pending removal of T1 Pine.
