    T1 Beech: The proposed work is a 3m reduction to all aspects of the crown, this is lateral and vertical. The west reductions will create a 2m clearance to the property at 8 stairfoot close, the preference would be to reduced the crown by a larger amount on this side to create more clearance. The east reduction will create a 3.5m clearance from 1 stairfoot view.

    A larch tree towers over the property at the rear garden. In recent storms a large neighbouring beech tree had come down and caused a wreckage which resulted in damages to a number of trees and property. The resident has concerns that this Larch tree will be next , and at worst fall on the house. We are requesting consent to fully remove the Larch tree.
