1no Sycamore - reduce entire tree by 2-3m. 1no Birch reduce by 1-2m Refuse Works - Reasons 1. Heavy pruning to a tree with a Tree Preservation Order in order to maintain a view is not a sound arboricultural reason for the works. 2. Loss of amenity to the immediate area and screening between properties due to the smaller dimensions proposed for the trees. 3. Multiple unnecessary wounds will be caused to both trees by the proposed works. Both trees grow within an open area and have room to grow to their full potential.

Fell 1no Sycamore T1- Plans to replant with 2 fruit trees, much more fitting with a garden of this side, either side of stump.Reason for refusal. 1) Loss of amenity. The tree is clearly visible from the street and is healthy and in good condition. The removal of this tree will result in a loss of amenity and the environmental benefits that a large healthy tree gives to the area. 2) reasons given by the applicant for removal. The reasons given are not sound arboricultural reasons for the removal of a tree with a tree preservation order. The tree grows upon the northern boundary well away from the property. Due to its position on the northern boundary shading will be minimal during morning and evening. If any saplings grow they can be pulled or cut with secateurs. Replanting with two fruit trees would not replace the environmental benefits that a large canopy species gives to the immediate area
