  REAR: ONE Silver Birch (T1)(ht.15m,spread:11m) HEIGHT REDUCE by 3m to ht.12m, LATERAL REDUCE by 3m to spread 8m, CROWN THIN by 30%. Reason: proximity and shade to both no.55 and no.53, reduce overhang to no.53 to balance canopy as previous crown reduction (ref. DC/16/099295) by 2m on no.55's side only resulted in imbalanced growth. Informative A: the sensitive management of the tree for rear landscape amenity, urban forest canopy/urban greening, wellbeing, wildlife, environmental benefits and to mitigate the climate and biodiversity emergencies is greatly appreciated. Informative B: please use cut branches in the garden to create habitat wood piles, and/ or a 'dead hedge' for wildlife and biodiversity. Informative C: please continue to plant trees, shrubs, hedges, climbers, perennials, bulbs and groundcover for varied garden landscape amenity, urban forest canopy, wildlife habitat, plants for pollinators, improve air quality.

  SIDE: ONE Laurel (T1)(ht.approx.7m) FELL. Reason: not a good specimen, next to 2m wall and side access. A replacement native pollinator tree will be planted in a more suitable location. Informative A: the replacement native pollinator tree is hugely welcomed and supported for green infrastructure benefits and to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change.

  FRONT: ONE Acer Negundo (T1)(ht.12m) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 3m from 12m to ht.9m, REDUCE LATERAL SPREAD by 3m from 12m to 9m. Reason: the main leader has failed and is being held up by the limb below. The canopy has major dieback and the crown is in generally poor physiological and structural condition. The canopy overhangs two driveways and the pedestrian footpath, high likelihood of failure and volume of pedestrians within the drop zone warrant the 5-day notice. The tree will tolerate the pruning as specified, reduction to shape canopy, pruning to suitable points and maintaining natural aesthetic. Informative A: huge thanks for the sensitive management to retain the tree for streetscape amenity. Informative B: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
