  T1 Sycamore - The Sycamore is of poor structural form due to historic heavy pollarding. The tree is suppressed by adjacent vegetation and is exhibiting poor vitality as it competes for available light. Surface roots are causing displacement of paving slabs and are encroaching upon the drainage infrastructure. Due to its declining condition, limited long-term amenity value, and ongoing damage to surrounding hard surfaces and drainage, permission is sought to Fell. T2 Lime Historically pollard Lime tree. To re-pollard by removing approximately 6 metres of upper crown regrowth, returning the tree to established pollard points. Crown lift epicormic regrowth to a height of approximately 10 metres, up to the principal fork union. The proposed works will maintain the tree within its historic management regime, reduce end-weight on regenerated limbs, and ensure continued sustainable retention. Permission is requested for cyclical re-pollarding and maintenance works and epicormic regrowth. T3 Horse Chestnut To crown lift over the northern highway by up to 10 metres through the removal of tertiary growth only, with pruning cuts not exceeding 30mm in diameter. Additionally, on the first southern bow, selectively reduce overextended secondary and tertiary branches projecting above the driveway by up to 2.5 metres, as indicated in the accompanying photograph. The works are proposed to improve clearance, increase light penetration through the canopy, and reduce the visual dominance of the overextended branch structure whilst retaining the tree's natural form and amenity value. T4 Lime To crown lift epicormic regrowth to approximately 10 metres above ground level, up to the main fork union. The works will improve clearance beneath the canopy and maintain the tree within its established management regime. Permission is requested for ongoing cyclical maintenance. T5 Lime To crown lift epicormic regrowth to approximately 10 metres above ground level, up to the main fo

  St Christophers High Street Twyford Hampshire SO21 1NH

  T1- Walnut: Permission to carry out a full canopy reduction, reducing the height of the tree by between 2-3m, and the lateral aspects by 1-2m. The tree is getting very large for it's surroundings as well as causing interference with the road, and structure beneath. The Owner wishes to contain the tree to a size appropriate for he garden. T2- Lime: Full canopy reduction by between 50-60%. The tree is incredibly close to the house and blocks a huge amount of light. It has also lost two limbs over the summer months, which have narrowly missed vehicles using the turning space at the end of the road, as well as a high number of pedestrians. This work would allow the tree to be retained at a more appropriate size, and greatly minimising the risk of any further limb failures for an area with such high footfall. T3- Indian Bean Tree: Full canopy reduction by between 2 and 3m. The tree is far too large for it's location, impeeding both the houses and also the pavement. This reduction would allow the the tree to be retained whilst avoiding impact on surrounding structures and footpaths.
