Proposal
Front Garden (left Boundary) T1: Holly tree – Remove dead and declining sections of the crown Height of tree currently: 6M Height of tree after reduction: 5M Spread of tree currently: 4M Spread of tree after reduction: 3M Reasons for work: We have inspected the holly tree and found it to be showing signs of decline, with extensive stag-heading and dieback evident throughout the upper crown. Although some live growth remains, the amount of dead material present indicates that the tree is under physiological stress, - We will removing the dead and declining sections of the crown to reduce the overall stress placed on the tree and to encourage the regeneration of healthy new growth. The tree should then be monitored over time to assess its response to these works, as continued decline may necessitate further management or eventual removal.

T1. Deodar Cedar Front Garden: A tree of great significance and Importance to the area. It appears the tree has had some fairly hefty storm damage re: 1987 storm, and had the top blown out, it's recovered very well, but has had no maintenance for some years, as a result has started to drop smaller branches, and has produced a significant amount of dead branches as expected. The x 2 lowest branches which over extend to and face N.E & S.E towards 157b are extending outside the crown line, and causing some anxiety regarding the possibility of potential failure. Given its current condition, it would be beneficial for deadwood removal and weight reduction of the afore mentioned lowest branches to help lessen the risk of failure. Recommendation for essential works: Remove all dead branches over 2.5 cm in diameter. Thin branch ends by 10% to reduce length by 2m on the lowest N.E and S.E limbs which extend towards 157b (Not supporting or crossing) and to lessen weight and increase stability. Carry out climbing Inspection and observation of branch junctions to ascertain structural integrity of main frame work. The tree's current height is 23m and crown spread is 19m After the proposed works, the tree's height is 23m and the crown spread is 17m (x 2 Lowest Limbs only)
