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.
