Ginko Tree next to and damaging the ancient cob wall between 1 Long Acres and the properties in Wayland Avenue. The Ginko is to be cut down to a height of between 1 and 2 metres to hopefully enable it to regrow but pruned regularly on the wall side of the trunk to train it away from the wall.

  1. Yew adjacent to boundaries with 2 Long Acres and 25 Wonford Road - pruning of branches to remove overhang above driveway to 2 Long Acres 2. Cherry adjacent to 2 Long Acres - removal of tree. It was purchased as a miniature, but has grown excessively. It is too close to the side of our house. 3. Ginko - adjacent to 8 Wayland Avenue - pruning of branches back to the level of the previous reduction. The tree is right next to a very old cob wall and is leaning up against the wall. The tree needs to be reduced to help protect the wall. 4. Crab Apple - in middle of lawn near to 4 Wayland Avenue - pruning of branches back to the level of the previous reduction.
