    Tree Preservation Order - EL:97/06 - T1 - Holly - Fell - The Holly is a poor-quality specimen with limited amenity value. In addition, felling the tree will improve natural light levels to the garden and the property, enhancing the usability and enjoyment of these areas. The removal of this specimen is not expected to have a significant adverse impact on the overall character or amenity of the site. T2 - Sycamore - remove juvenile stem and reduce remainder by 3m to leave finished height of 7m and finished spread of 3m. Again the work will improve light levels reaching the garden and the property, which are currently significantly affected by the size and spread of the tree. Removing the juvenile stem and carrying out a sympathetic crown reduction will help maintain the tree at a more appropriate size for its location while retaining its overall health, form, and amenity value. The proposed works are considered proportionate and represent ongoing tree management rather than unnecessary or excessive pruning.

    Tree Preservation Order EL:18/07 - T1 - Horse chestnut - Proposed Works: Crown lift over the roadside only to provide a minimum clearance of 5.2 metres above ground level. All pruning shall be limited to secondary branches where practicable and carried out in accordance with BS3998:2010 Tree Work Recommendations, with a maximum pruning wound diameter of 50mm. Reason for Proposed Works: Following a tree survey, it was identified that the crown over the carriageway has been subject to contact from larger vehicles in the past. The proposed crown lift will provide appropriate clearance for high-sided vehicles, reducing the likelihood of future vehicle strikes and preventing unnecessary damage to the tree, whilst retaining its long-term health and amenity value.
