    All within W1 (ON TPO ORDER): T1 Ash - 3 - 3.5 m crown reduction not past previous pruning points - Remove two lower north-eastern lateral limbs. Reason: Tree leans towards the House and is not far from touching it. Reduce to give more light and clearance to the House. T2 Hawthorn - Fell. Reason: tree is very unwell. T3 (2x) Willows - Fell. Reason: trees have grown at 45 degrees angle to get light and are 2 tall straight stems, they hold no amenity value within in the woodland, fell to avoid future failure when they become too large at the angle they have grown and can not hold their own weight in the wet conditions within the woodland, as many trees in the same area have done in the past. T4 Ash - 2.5 - 3 m crown reduction, not past previous pruning points. Reason: to keep size under control for location, near to service cables and pole and also starting to hang over the boundary line to the neighbouring property.
