  T1 - Sycamore T1 - Sycamore - fell due to its excessive height and spread of its branches and roots. The upper branches cover and surround an electrical power line. The roots have caused considerable damage to the lawn, garden path and gate. The tree has previously been reduced in height but this seems to have encouraged its current growth. It is too large for its current position. There are several other trees along the boundary. Remarks:

  T1 - Beech T2 - Beech T3 - Beech T4 - Beech T5 - Beech T6 - Beech T7 - Norway Maple This will include felling 2 x Beech trees and management would fit well as one is a mature example with potential defective unions and the second is heavily suppressed with limited long term value. The remaining 4 x are good specimens that would then benefit from pruning works to tidy the inner crown and reduce sail area by up to 2.0m to cope with changes in wind dynamics from the removal of the 2x Beech. The Norway Maple has become very drawn and serves only minor value with the garden. Remove 2 x Beech trees (T2 & T4) felling through rope and harness in sections using aerial rigging, finally felling as close to ground level as possible. Reduce remaining 4 x Beech (T1, T3, T5 and T6) by 2.0m in height and balance sides. Remove 1 x Norway Maple (T7) felling through rope and harness in sections using aerial rigging, finally felling as close to ground level as possible. Remarks:
