  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.
