Proposal

AMENDED SCHEDULE ATTACHED TO EMAIL DATED 23 DEC 2020 and 29 DEC 2020. (NOTE TWO RELATED S211 TREE WORK NOTICES ARE 20/2493/TTCA T25 Blue Cedar AND 20/2494/TTCA 2, 3, AND 21 Laurel; 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 24 AND 27 Leylandii; 15 Elder; AND T28 Hazel). T1 Holly - Final height 2m (currently 2.5m), reduce diameter to 1.5m T4 Yew - Keep existing height (2m), reduce diameter to 1.5m T9 & T10 Yew - Keep existing height (2m), reduce diameter to 1.5m T14 - Holly - fell as it has grown as a weed and is close to historic wall T16 - Sycamore - fell as the roots are very close to the boundary wall T26 Yew - Keep existing height (2m), reduce diameter to 1.5m T29 Ash - Final height of 3m (currently 3.5m) leave existing diameter (it is already quite narrow due to dense planting. T30 Eucalyptus - due to previous pruning it is a single lopsided 'Y' shape trunk which has re-sprouted, one arm of the Y is reaching over the neighbouring garden so this arm would be cut back and the other more vertical arm left to grow. So mathematically the final diameter would be only 1m, but that is a result of the current odd shape, not the drastic work required. Unknown dead tree - fell as it is dead. PREVIOUS TREE IDENTIFIED AS 30 NOW DOES NOT APPEAR ON SCHEDULE SUBMITTED 23RD DECEMBER 2020. Given the congestion of that area and dense evergreen growth it would not be sensible to plant a new tree in this location, but we do intend to plant new "trees" (and flowers) in the front garden to form beech hedging and even to replace a tree on the corner which was removed some years ago but never replaced. T39 - Ash fell DUE TO CONGESTION AND POOR GROWTH T40 - Pine FELL DUE TO POOR HEALTH
