  T1 Green circle Elder - Remove as has partially destroyed boundary fence, obstructing the vehicular access to 12 Pond Green + growing through overhead wiring to neighbouring property 15 Butts Lane, who have registered their concerns regarding the overhanging trees. T2 Orange circle Hazel - Remove as obstructing vehicle access. Partially diseased. T3 Purple circle Gage - Cut back branches overhanging garden path of 15 Butts Lane. Removal of diseased branches. T4 Yellow circle Prunus - Remove. This shows signs of historic damage and is interspersed throughout its base with bramble and scrub undergrowth. T5 Red circle Juvenile Pear - Reduce crown by up to 1 m to contain growth and protect Number 10 Pond Green fence and prevent encroachment into vehicle access of Number 12. T6 Blue circle Apple tree - Remove to provide sufficient clearance to property wall and the extension roof. There is another mature apple tree already within the garden, shown on P1 plan. Another could be added in this area in mitigation if required. Please note - I have just purchased the property and am not aware of any TPOs. There is a good deal of scrub and undergrowth on site which hinders getting any further into the garden. There may be more small trees further back but they will be left as they are
