  The tree in question is no. T13 shown on the OS and Site Plan. The tree is a Contorted or Corkscrew Willow and it is just inside my front boundary. The tree regularly sheds branches and in the last two weeks when we had high winds it shed about 6; these branches are between 3 and 6cm diameter at the break and measure 3 to 5m long. The tree is so large now that there is a danger of the dropping branches falling into the street and the tree is so tall is is difficult for me to get to them when they break but have not yet fallen. Therefore I want permission for the crown reduction indicated on the accompanying drawings and photos. I have sought guidance from an arboriculturist who I gave the following brief to: 1. I don't want the tree to die. 2. I want to be able to manage its shedding of branches in a safe manner. 3. I want the tree to be reduced in volume so that the chances of breaking branches are less likely to land in the street. If permission is given, once the crown reduction is carried out, the top of the tree will be around 5m above my garden level; that's about 6m above the adjacent pavement.

  T1. Front garden eucalyptus tree. The tree is in contact with the house, is also overhanging the vehicle on the drive and has grown to a height in excess of the house. It does not appear to have been maintained for some time. The request is to reduce the branch length by 2 metres away from the house to create clearance and prevent the tree contacting the house. The tree will remain 7 metres wide after the reduction. In addition, to reduce the branch length by 1 metre where the tree is overhanging the driveway and dropping material onto the vehicle parked there. The tree will remain 8 metres wide after the reduction. Finally a crown reduction of 3 metres to maintain a balanced shape and bring the tree height back down to just under the roofline of the property. It's hard to estimate the current height of the tree but it is in excess of the height of the 3 story house. T2. Back garden apple tree. The tree has gained significant height since the summer and has also increased in reach, overhanging the garage, restricting access to the planted borders and approaching the boundary with number 21 to the East and that property's garage. The request is to reduce branch length by 1 metre on the East, South and West sides to stop it approaching the boundary and overhanging the garage and to keep a balanced shape. The tree will remain 3.5 metres in diameter after the reduction. Additionally, a crown reduction of 1.5 metres to maintain a balanced shape and bring the tree back closer to its height at the start of the summer. The tree will remain 3m in height after this reduction.

  All trees on the property are indicated on the plan and are numbered from T1 to T14. Of the 14 trees marked, 4 require work. The work has been requested by the neighbour at no.13 Tavistock Avenue. The tree numbers needing work are: - Tree T3. Oak. Crown reduction. This tree is overhanging the neighbour at No. 13 Tavistock Avenue; blocking out light and overhanging their roof. - Tree T4. Oak. Fell. This tree is close to and is smaller than T5 and is causing T5 to grow in a distorted way. It is also blocking out light from No.13 Tavistock Avenue. - Tree T5. Oak. Crown reduction. This tree is overhanging the neighbour at No. 13 Tavistock Avenue; blocking out light. - Tree T11. Oak. Crown reduction and crown lift. This tree is overhanging the neighbour at No. 13 Tavistock Avenue; blocking out light and making access to the house awkward. Trees T3, T5 and T11 all require crown reduction. We have indicated on the Tree Photos and Description the approximate canopy shape to be achieved by the reduction. We intend that the canopy reduction is carried out symmetrically as the dotted red lines on the photos indicate.

  Tree Code: Sgl/106736 Species: Beech (Fagus sylvatica) TPO: TPO269 (T10) Works Sectionally fell and remove the Beech tree to ground level. Remove all timber, branches and arising debris from site. Grind out or otherwise remove the stump where practicable, or leave at ground level as directed by the client. Reason for Works The tree is exhibiting significant structural defects and decay, including: Evidence of substantial basal decay associated with fungal activity (Pholiota spp.). Hollow sounding stem indicating internal decay. Two very large historic tear-out wounds, including one approximately 5 metres above ground level. Major limb loss and loss of large branches. Abnormal buttressing and trunk form. Stem decay below the crown break. These defects indicate a significant decline in structural integrity and an increased risk of partial or whole-tree failure. Summary 1 × Beech (Fagus sylvatica) Sectional dismantling and removal of the entire tree due to advanced structural defects and decay.
