    Proposed Works T1 ? Sycamore Reduce canopy by approximately 20% (1?2m). Avoid large-diameter cuts. Maintain a balanced structure and natural form. T9 ? Beech Reduce overall height to align with the reduced sycamore (2?3m). Reduce lateral branches by approximately 1m. Undertake a 10% canopy thin to improve light penetration. T2, T3, T4, T5, T6, T7 & T8 ? Coniferous Trees/Shrubs Fell and remove all specified coniferous trees/shrubs. Stump grind to below ground level. Works to facilitate replanting with more suitable species. Justification for Works: T1 (Sycamore) & T9 (Beech): Works are proposed to improve light penetration into the garden, supporting the growth and establishment of understory planting and other vegetation. T2?T8 (Coniferous group): Removal is recommended due to their close proximity to the property / retaining wall and to create space for replanting with species more suitable to the site context.
