  Lime Trees (CH01) Crown lift each Lime tree by up to 1.0 metre through the removal of the two lowest branches to improve clearance over the public footpath. Thereafter, undertake cyclical pruning of new growth extending over the public footpath by up to 0.3 metres at any one time to maintain pedestrian access and clearance. Elder Trees (CH04 & CH05) Remove one entire branch from each, previously coppiced, Elder tree where it is in direct contact with and growing into the perimeter wall, providing approximately 0.5 metre clearance from the wall (CH04). In addition, remove all deadwood throughout the crown (CH05). The proposed works include approximately 20% crown thinning of each Elder tree through the removal of dead and crossing branches. Cherry Trees (CH02 & CH03) Remove two entire branches from each, previously coppiced, Cherry tree: one branch growing into the perimeter wall to provide approximately 1.0 metre clearance from the wall (CH02), and one low-growing branch extending over the lawn to provide clearance for lawn maintenance (CH03). The removal of these branches will constitute approximately 20% crown thinning of each Cherry tree.

  3 FOX COVERT FETCHAM KT22 9XD

  TPO/114/2/I T1 – Silver Birch. It is proposed to reduce the crown by approximately 1–2 metres, pruning back towards the previous reduction points where suitable. Given the tree's previous management history and the amount of regrowth produced, we would also request consideration for the tree to be managed on a 3 year pruning cycle, reducing new growth back towards the established pruning framework as required.
