  There are 2 trees that require works - a Taxus (yew tree) and a IIex (holly tree). Both trees require crown lift to provide 3m clearance for pedestrians on public payment and to provide more light into the garden. Also need to relieve pressure of limb from a retaining wall. Crown thinning (10-20%), and prune to clear phone.

  The two trees are Sycamores, numberd 6 and 8 on the attached diagram. We are looking to fell them for the following reasons: 1) The presence of these trees is affected the quality of life for people living in the neighbouring flats, as the trees not only block most light into their living areas in the summer. The bottom floor flats are approximately 3-4m below ground level of the trees, for example, and this makes living there gloomy for several months of the year. In addition, the amount of honeydew from this particular species of tree makes their back gardens black and very difficult to clean, as does the amount of leaves that fall in the autumn, which all collect in their gardens as there isn't anywhere for them to blow away 2) We have 4 identical sycamore trees or similar height, all in a row (numbered 4, 6, 8 and 9). The canopies all touch when in full bloom, so we feel that removing 6 and 8 will have a minimal effect on the visual appearance of the canopy when viewed from a distance, given that the trees are so closely located together. 3) We ideally would like to create a 'wild' area in that part of the garden, to attract butterflies, bees and other wildlife as well as a vegetable patch for the children, but the extreme shade caused by these two trees makes this challenging.

  TPO350: Sycamore (T1-T4) Large mature sycamores within a confined residential setting. Lower branches are encroaching into neighbouring gardens and towards nearby buildings. The proposed works involve lifting and selectively reducing the lowest branches to provide reasonable clearance from boundaries and structures. Works will be carried out using target pruning to suitable growth points, retaining the trees' natural form, amenity value and overall crown structure. The works are considered proportionate and appropriate to manage encroachment, improve the relationship between the trees and surrounding properties, and reduce the need for more extensive pruning in the future. T1: Remove the two lowest encroaching branches back to the main stem. T2 & T3: Remove the two lowest encroaching branches back to the main stem and reduce the next three branches by approximately 2 to 3 metres using target pruning. T4: Remove the four lowest encroaching branches back to the main stem and reduce the next three branches by approximately 2 to 3 metres using target pruning. T5 Ash (self-set): Reduce branches as necessary to provide 3 metres clearance from the building and roofline using target pruning.
