T2 Holly tree. Reduce canopy by 5 meters down to approximately 15 meters With reference to the above application and your request for further justification for the work to T2 Holly Tree. The holly tree has had work carried out to it in the past, approximately 10 years ago. It is very overgrown and unmanageable. My proposal to reduce the canopy by 5 metres would enable future maintenance of the holly tree.

T1. Horse chestnut in the rear garden of number 12 Martingales Close. I am proposing to remove the lefthand co-dominant leader. The condition of the tree is below average. There is heavy ivy growth on the left leader with structural weakness at the co-dominant junction. By removing the lefthand junction any future damage to the neighbouring property will be avoided. The remaining right hand leader I propose to pollard down to approximately 15 metres, reducing the overall canopy by 5 metres.
