  23/00936/TPO Submitted 10 May 2023 181m away

  T1, T2, T3 - Mature beech trees in the rear garden of 20 Yew Tree Bottom Road- Due to the three trees being so close together and starting to grow into one and other and becoming out of shape and balance we propose to treat them as looking like one tree so we will reduce the crown by 2 meters all around and remove any dead. We would also like to lift the crown by a maximum of 6M as there is zero sunlight under the tree and the branches are getting close to the floor. One thing to bear in mind is there is a cavity pocket on the base T2 so this reduction will take the weight out of the joint crown preserving the life of the trees for a longer period of time.

  AMENDED SPECIFICATION SEE CONDITION 2 G1 is a group of three Beech trees that have a communal or co-joined crown. The crowns are biased to the Southeast with the crown being lower to the ground at this point than on the West. The Western stem has bark damage from ground level to 2m with the wound slowly occluding. It has tight secondary scaffolds that are rubbing at approximately 8m. The southern stem has lost a secondary stem to the east of the stem at 1.5m, reactive growth to the northeast is visible and the lip of the pruning point is producing wound wood in an effort to occlude. Decay is localised and penetration is limited in areas around the surface.The Northern stem has tight rubbing stems centrally in the crown at 8, in two visible locations. The lateral secondary and tertiary branches to west have recently failed and appears to be squirrel damage. One of these failures is currently hooked up on the crown over the garden. It is recommended that the crown be reduced by 2m and lifted to 5m to leave a balanced crown of 5m from the centre of the group. The surgery may require less in some areas to be removed and slightly more in others. the important thing is to leave a balance crown. The reason for the work is to prevent further branch failures and to reduce the wind loading that is causing the stems to rub and branches to fail. It is also to counter the decay point in the stem (though this is negligible) overall it is for safety and to prevent further branch failures.

T3 Sycamore remove remove the lowest 5-inch limb at approximately 6 meters from ground level growing over house remove all major squirell damage and crown clean. T4 Sycamore crown thin by 15% crown lift to 4 meters and remove all deadwood. T5 Silver Maple reduce back lateral face over house and garden by 2.5 meters and remove all deadwood. T6 Sycamore crown thin by 20% crown lift to 4 meters and crown clean. T7 Horse Chestnut crown thin by 20% crown lift to 4 meters and crown clean. T8 Horse Chestnut crown thin by 20% crown lift to 4 meters and crown clean. T9 Lime crown thin by 20% crown lift to 4 meters and crown clean. These trees have not been worked on for many years works to allow more natural light into the house and garden as they are causing excessive shading. Crown cleaning works to prevent sudden branch drop from the squirell damage and major deadwood.

  21 Old Oak Avenue Chipstead Surrey CR5 3PG

  T1- Cedar (Cedrus Atlantica). Selective pruning of the lateral crown to reduce over extended limbs by 1.5-2m (Predominately on the east and west sides to rebalance), reduce other limbs where necessary to appropriate growth points with the goal of reducing weight load and rebalancing the crown. Remove deadwood over 40mm diameter and 50cm length. Reduce or remove large dead limb on west side of tree at 3m height. Supply and installation of 3x non-invasive 8tn Cobra bracing between three co-dominant stems, to reduce movement between branch unions and mitigate likelihood of structural failure. Use of a mobile elevated working platform (cherry picker) will be utilised to ensure we prune to the appropriate points, for tree health and aesthetics.

  Land Adjacent To 150 Fleetwood Close Tadworth Surrey KT20 5PG

  Trees 1 and 2 (adjacent 150) prune back from their dwelling/garage by circa 3m and remove deadwood. The branches of both trees are extending across the curtilage of 150 Fleetwood Close. Some are in close proximity to the dwelling. Early pruning work, as requested, will enable the tree crown to be managed without recourse to substantial pruning cuts. Early intervention is therefore considered to be best practice in accordance with BS3998:2010: Tree Works - Recommendations. Tree 3 reduce height to circa 6m above ground level. The tree is in decline and presents no regenerative growth from lower on the branches or stem structure. If regenerative growth had been present it would have been feasible to specify pruning works to suitable growth points. Given the state of decline and absence of suitable pruning points it is considered prudent to remove the major branches but retain the lower stem for its ecological value. Works can be undertaken in accordance with BS3998:2010: Tree Works - Recommendations.
