    T1 - Ash T1 - Ash - this tree is in my opinion of low amenity value, it is causing potential health risks, as pigeons are roosting in it and defecating over the cars which are parked beneath. We would therefore like to apply to remove the Ash tree. Remarks:

    Six stems of Lawson Cypress Conifer. Six stems of Lawson Cypress conifer. Fell due to damage to existing boundary wall and very low amenity value. The conifers were originally planted as a hedge but have overgrown (see Photo 1). The roots and stems have caused damage to the valued brick and flint wall which has collapsed in places (see photo 2 & 3). Felling required to gain access to rebuild the wall and to prevent re-occurrence of damage. Replant with a mixture of evergreen and deciduous shrubs in keeping with the pleasing nature of the garden (See report from Ken Earle). NB. Property is listed. Remarks:

    T1 - Lime tree T1 - Lime tree located in the eastern corner of the front garden. Reduce crown height by approx 2.5 metres, creating new pollard points. The tree is multi-stemmed, otherwise showing good health. Some branches are becoming over lateral, particularly towards the traffic lights on the main carriageway and footpath. There are also some branches touching the old church building next door. My client has some concerns over this and also leaf fall is a potential problem due to leaves becoming wet when fallen, causing a slippery surface. The tree has a good amenity value, particularly due to neighbouring properties having trees felled, and also benefits by way of absorbing carbon dioxide levels. I have recommended reducing the crown height by approx 2.5m and bringing the crown width in, creating new pollard points, leading to managing the tree roughly every five years. The tree is located in the Nettlebed Conservation Area. Remarks:

    T1 - Lawson Cypress (by flint wall) T2 - Lawson Cypress x 3 (at entrance) Fell three Lawson Cypress trees close to the entrance of the property which have reached maturity and outgrown their position. They contain some deadwood and are becoming problematic to overhead lines. Fell one further Lawson Cypress which is rooted at the base of the boundary flint wall and will in time cause damage to the wall. All trees are non indigenous and of low amenity value. Remarks:

    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.
