Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1; Oak (Quercus robur) - Remove to ground level. Reason: Close proximity to other trees preventing them to mature and poor growth structure. Removal will provide space for surrounding trees to mature and allow light to pass through to property between other trees. T2; Oak (Quercus robur) - Epicormic removed and a reduction of 1.2 - 1.5 metres all around. Reason: Reduce the overhang to the nearby properties as the client feel enclosed and allow more light to pass through the canopy into the gardens. T3; Oak (Quercus robur) - Remove to ground level. Reason: Close proximity to other trees preventing them to mature and poor growth structure. Removal will provide space for surrounding trees to mature and allow light to pass through to property between other trees. T4; Oak (Quercus robur) - Epicormic removed and a reduction of 1.2 metres all around, and a 2 metre reduction on over extended limb to maintain a balanced shape and improve future growth structure. Reason: Reduce the overhang to the nearby properties as the clients feel enclosed and allow more light to pass through the canopy into the gardens and improve future growth structure with over extended limbs. T5; Goat willow (at the base of oaks) Remove to ground level. Reason: Allow light to pass through between trees. The clients feel enclosed and want more light to pass through the trees into the garden.

Redhill Farm Redhill Lane Wroxall Ventnor Isle Of Wight PO38 3ER
T4; English Oak - Reduce lower lateral over-extending branches back to suitable growth points up to 2-3m from branch tips; remove downward growing branches to prevent further leveraging. Reason: Lower canopy has become unbalanced and leaning more towards the client's property. By reducing the large lateral limbs and removing downward growth we hope to promote re-balancing and take off some weight to prevent leveraging.
