  T1 - Yew tree Location: Front garden Proposed works: Reduce height and radial spread by approximately 1-2 metres, pruning back to suitable growth points to retain a natural and balanced shape. Reason for works: General maintenance and to allow more light into the property. G1 - Group of 6 Yew trees Location: Along the south-facing garden boundary Proposed works: Reduce height by approximately 2 metres. The south-facing side of the trees will be cut back in line with the neighbouring property boundary, and the north-facing side will be trimmed and tidied as appropriate to maintain a natural appearance. Reason for works: General maintenance and to allow more light into the property. G2 - Group of 5 Yew trees Location: Along the north and east-facing garden boundary Proposed works: Reduce height by approximately 3 metres and radial spread by 1-2 metres. Reason for works: General maintenance and to allow more light into the property. One of these trees has partially uprooted but re-established, so a 3-metre reduction will help reduce weight and improve stability.

  T1 - Yew: One yew tree located in the rear corner of the garden is to be lightly trimmed and reshaped as appropriate to maintain a balanced crown form and manageable size. G2 - Yew and Holly: All branches overhanging the property from two yew trees and one holly tree are to be pruned back to provide approximately 1-2m clearance between the dwelling and the tree crowns. The works are proposed to prevent direct contact with the building, reduce the risk of damage to the property, and allow for reasonable ongoing maintenance.
