Proposal
T8 (The Orchard) - Crown reduce one scaffold limb by approximately 2.5 m. Age-related retrenchment, upper canopy dieback and defects within the scaffold limb near its union with the main stem. Reduction proposed to reduce end loading whilst retaining the tree. Deadwood removal (>50 mm diameter) considered exempt. T2 (Tayles Hill House) - Crown lift to 3 m over driveway (Section 211). Routine management to provide adequate clearance over the driveway. G10 Thuja (Tayles Hill House) - Fell (Section 211). Extensive basal decay, basal cavity and progressive canopy dieback. Poor physiological and structural condition. G10 Elm (Tayles Hill House) - Fell (Section 211). Advanced decline associated with Dutch elm disease. No realistic long-term retention. T9 Cypress (Tayles Hill House) - Fell (TPO). Moribund with poor physiological and structural condition. No realistic prospect of recovery. G14 Sycamore (Tayles Hill House) - Fell (TPO/Section 211 subject to Council confirmation). Climbing inspection confirmed longitudinal stem crack extends beyond the cambium into structural wood, confirming a significant structural defect warranting removal.

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.
