    TPA/22/1372 Submitted 31 May 2022 200 yards away

    G1. Conifer - Hedge trim removing annual growth only. G2. Conifer - Hedge trim removing annual growth only. T3. Cherry - Reduce in height and radial spread by upto 2m. Current estimated height 14m leaving at 12m. Current estimated radius 6m leaving at 4m. Cut to offer upto a 2m clearance from the property. The Conifer trees (G1 & G2) have grown to form a hedge and have been managed throughout. An annual trim will continue their management removing regrowth only. The Cherry tree grows very closely to the property and although the client is aware that the roots may pose an issue in the future, they are keen to keep the tree but in turn manage its size by reducing its canopy. This will allow for the tree to be enjoyed but also offer some protection toward the property.

Repollard to uppermost pollard heads at approximately 6.5m above ground level. Pollard heads not to be damaged, but all branches above pollard heads to be removed. Reason for works are to maintain the trees under their established pollarding regime by reducing the current regrowth back to the existing historic pollard knuckles, thereby maintaining their size, form and structural condition.

    T1. Oak - Reduce height and radial spread by 2m. Current height 16m leaving at 14m. Current radius 9m leaving at 7m. The tree recent hard a large limb failure which subsequently hit and ripped out a further two large limbs which fell into the garage and on top of the adjacent garage. The loss of these branches has left a large hole in the canopy. It looks as though the tree has recently been crown thinned.
