  T1 - Lime tree T2 - Laurel bush/tree T1 - Lime tree that overhangs our garden fence over Ferry Lane. We are proposing to repollard this tree back to its previous pollard points. T2 - To a (large) Laurel bush/tree that is on the boundary between our garden and that of Tudor Cottage. We propose an overall reduction of the Laurel by 20% (crown height and lateral spread), approximately 2 metres off each stem. Remarks:

  Laurel Removal of overgrown Laurel shrub, now a tree. This tree stands close to our conservatory, causing narrow access to the back of our house. It dominates a small garden. We have pruned it several times (with permission) but it grows back very quickly and just gets bigger. We will happily replace it with a more appropriate tree. Remarks:

  T1 Plane - Remove the lowest limb at 5.5m above ground level towards the house back to source. Remove the long lower limb at 6m above ground level overhanging the garage roof back to source. Evenly reduce the lateral spread by approximately 3m around the perimeter of the canopy. Pruning cuts should not exceed 100mm. Works equating to 10% of the tree's leaf area. All pruning cuts to be made at branch junctions, leaving sufficient live growth to maintain crown form. T2 and T3 Aspen - On both trees, remove the two lowest limbs back to source that directly overhang the boundary hedge, towpath and river bank (and hence moored boats). To address the potential hazard of unpredictable limb breakage. T5 - Willow. Remove the 7 lowest smallest limbs of approximately 100mm diameter back to source. Evenly reduce the spread of the long lateral branches by approximately 4m around the perimeter of the canopy where they are longer than 8m. All pruning cuts to be made at branch junctions, leaving sufficient live growth to maintain crown form. To address the potential hazard of unpredictable limb breakage TG1 x5 Willow - Reduce crown height of all five trees by upto 40% to effectively pollard them at approximately 10m height. All pruning cuts to be made at branch junctions, to maintain and enable a good crown form as they re-grow. Limbs have recently broken out of a number of these trees and this work therefore will address the potential hazard of unpredictable limb breakage.

  T1 - Copper Beech - Reduce branches by approximately 2 metres focusing mainly on lateral branches rather than the top. Lift canopy to provide statutory clearance over the road and clear from service cables. T2 - Tulip Tree - Reduce by approximately 3 metres to restore balance within the crown due to previous limb failure leaving the tree unbalanced. T3 - Horse Chestnut - Reduce by approximately 3 to 4 metres, leaving a natural flowing crown outline and remove major deadwood. T4 - To fell and remove 1 x Yew tree and install eco plugs to prevent re-growth.

  T1 Copper Beech. Low canopy over road and footpath. To raise canopy to statutory clearances, (5.2m over road, 2.5m over footpath). To remove deadwood greater than 60mm over road and footpath, for safety purposes, minimising any chance for larger falling deadwood in windy conditions.

  Ash (T2 of TPO 09/2019) - Reduce back crown over single storey block D4 by a maximum of 4m at its widest point (work mainly relates to over extended limbs over roof). Reduce back low branches over the roof to create 3m clearance. Cutback branches from front of the adjacent building (D6) to create 2-3m clearance. To help balance the crown, reduce remaining crown by approx. 2m. To avoid altering the balance of the tree as a whole, the crown of the tree should be reduced in proportion to its original shape. All pruning cuts must be made at branch junctions, leaving sufficient live growth to maintain or enhance crown form.
