    T1-T13 - This row of very large Laylandii are dominating the lane. They have been a point of contention for years with the residents. They offer little in the way of local amenity. Now the new owners have moved in they have decide to remove them completely to ground level to keep everyone happy. They are causing excessive shading and sway dangerously in the wind. To be replaced with a row of native Cherry trees. Work to be carried out in midwinter to have minimum impact of wildlife. T14 - Ash - This tree in in good health but has not been pruned in many years and is becoming very dominant. The neighbor next door (Cranmer lodge) is also concerned about it in the high winds. I propose a 4m reduction in height to reduce sail and encourage a lower crown. T15 - Silver Birch - This beautiful tree is a real asset to the property. It is in good health but is becoming very large considering it proximity to the house and the Cranmer lodge next door. I propose a sympathetic 3m reduction in height and 1.5m reduction on the sides to reduce sail and improve light below. Also a crown lift to 3.5m. This work is to be carried out in High summer to ensure the trees health. T16 - small conifer - this tree again has been a point of contention. it is also making the inside of the property very gloomy indeed. To be removed and replace with a native broad leaf tree further away from the house in a more suitable location.

    Ash Tree - dead - Fell It has a split running vertically up the trunk. It has a hole in the trunk that is rotten and leaching purple slime. It is unstable in the ground and moves when pushed. We are concerned it may fall before it can be felled. It sits close to a very old, beautiful oak tree, the fear is that it may fall on that and damage it. Plum - this tree has a large split down the centre which has split the tree in half. It is in our clients garden but has grown through the fence and is encroaching on the shared (with neighbours) space. Fell
