01 - Various - Crown lift all trees to a height of 3.5m 01 - Crown lift all trees to a height of 3.5 metres to provide adequate clearance from the adjacent buildings. The works will reduce the risk of branch contact with structures, improve access for ongoing maintenance, and ensure suitable separation between the tree canopies and the built environment. The proposed crown lift is limited to the minimum extent necessary and will retain the overall health, form, and amenity value of the trees. 02 - Field Maple - Reduce Laterals by 2m to ensure a clear site of view for the camera positioned on the building. 02 - Reduce the lateral branches of the Field Maple by up to 2 metres to maintain a clear line of sight for the security camera positioned on the building. The works will ensure the continued effectiveness of the site's security infrastructure whilst retaining the tree's overall shape, health, and contribution to local amenity he proposed reduction is minor and in accordance with sound arboricultural management practices. 03 - Elm - Reduce the laterals over the neighbours property by 2m. 03 - Reduce the lateral branches extending over the neighbouring property by up to 2 metres to alleviate excessive shading of the garden. The works are intended to improve residential amenity for the adjoining occupier whilst maintaining the tree's natural form and long-term health.

All works are proposed in accordance with BS3998:20
