    G1 - 14 x Beech - Remove hanging limb - 1st tree on SE end of tree line. Likely more hangers within group. Remove any found during works. · Ivy band at base · Remove major deadwood - Throughout line of trees (x 14 tree) · Crown Reduction of up to 5 meters height and up to 3m lateral spread. Reducing back to sound wood where rot is evident from historic pruning (maximum pruning cut 100mm diameter). NOTE: The reduction amount in meters is not the target (topping is not the aim). 5 meters is the maximum amount to be removed, consideration MUST be made to allow natural flowing lines with target pruning to encourage regrowth.

    P/TRT/2023/01314 Submitted 3 Mar 2023 46m away

    Line of Beech x10 - Reduce crowns by 4-5m to leave a height of 7-8m as per annotated photograph. The lateral branches should be cut back beyond the boundary of 23 Badger Sett to achieve a minimum 1m clearance from the fence line. Reason: Curtailing the amenity value of home and garden, causing harm/damage to the property by way of damp, loss of light and overgrowth touching house, and overhanging veranda and gazebo area.
