FRONT: ONE Lime (T1 ht.11m, r.3-5m) REDUCE HEIGHT & REDUCE RADIUS by approx.2m, CROWN LIFT to 3m above ground level, Remove basal epicormic growth. Reason: included stem fork at 3m, routine maintenance, retain within the garden setting, reduce encroachment and improve light to lawn and public footpath. REAR: ONE Sycamore (T3 ht.15m) REDUCE HEIGHT by 2m from 15m to 13m, REDUCE RADIUS by 2m from 9m to 7m, Remove lowest limb to main stem, Remove basal stem, (Remove deadwood and ivy - exempt works). Reason: routine maintenance to retain within the garden setting, reduce encroachment from side elevations, improve light to windows. FRONT: ONE Elder (T4 ht.6m) FELL. Reason: the elder is located beneath the canopy of T3 and has become an undesirable species, unsustainable for its location. Informative: landscape enhancement of Lyncourt grounds with additional vegetation such as establishing climbers on walls, introducing fragrant shrubs, bulbs and small specimen trees combined with areas of less frequently mown grass to benefit flowers for pollinators will be hugely welcome for visual amenity, environmental and wildlife benefits.
