  We wish to carry out works on a Magnolia tree at the right hand side of our front garden (as viewed from the pavement) which is close to the border to our neighbours house at No 10 approximately half way between the pavement and the front of our house (see sketch plan attached). Prior to works to make our Yew tree (at the boundary with the pavement) more balanced, the magnolia tree was very much shadowed by the Yew tree and as a result has grown in a very unblanced way making it lopsided. Now that the Yew Tree no longer causes this issue, we hope that the magnolia tree will grow in a more balanced way improving its health, sustainabiity and aesthetic. The contractor who carried out the works on the Yew Tree recommended that we ask for consent to trim the tree by a maximum of 2.5 metres. All works will be carried out by a suitable contractor. The Magnolia tree is not a native species and has been recognised by the LPA as being of less value that the Yew Tree which is subject to a TPO and for which we were given consent for similar works (creating a more balanced tree). Further, consent was previously given to trim back a magnolia tree(s) on our neighbours land at No 6 (also in the front garden). It would therefore seem manifestly unreasonable to refuse my request for consent for the above works. If you wish to carry out a site visit, we have off road parking available on the front.

  Consent is requested for works to cut back the Magnolia tree marked on the plan. Prior to works (with permission) carried out to the Yew Tree which is subject to a TPO, this tree was forced to grow in a very lopsidded manner (see photos provided). This tree sits near the right hand side boundary fence with No 10 and has become rather large given its location. We with to cut it back by a maximun if 2.5m on the advice of the contractors we used to cut back the Yew Tree. This is to allow it to grow in a more balanced way and to remove over crowded branches. We expect this will help with the health and aeastghetic of this tree. Consent has previoulsy been obtained to cut back Magnolia trees located within the boundary of our other neighbours at no 6. We would emply suitable contractors to carry out this work at an appropriate time of the year.
