  TPO849 T1 Proposed Works to TPO Protected Red Cedar A crown reduction of a mature Red Cedar (approximately 16 metres in height). A reduction in overall tree height of approximately 20%, equating to 3.0-3.5 metres, reducing the tree from approximately 16 metres to 12.5-13 metres in height. Selective reduction and trimming of the lateral branches to maintain the tree's natural form, symmetry and attractive appearance following the height reduction. All pruning works will be carried out in accordance with good arboricultural practice, retaining the tree's character and ensuring a balanced crown structure. Reason for the Proposed Works The tree is located on an embankment adjacent to a well-used public footpath and in close proximity to neighbouring residential gardens. The crown has continued to expand and branches now extend over our property, where previous growth has already displaced and damaged guttering on the house. Maintain public safety along the adjacent footpath. Reduce the risk of branch failure affecting neighbouring properties and gardens. Prevent further encroachment onto our property and damage to the house and guttering. Retain the long-term health, stability and amenity value of the tree while managing its size appropriately for its location.

  TPO760 T50 Mature oak tree has died. We request permission to remove all branches to just leave the main trunk. Over recent years the tree has been progressively later to come into leaf and earlier to lose its' leaves than the adjacent mature oak. This year the tree has not produced any leaves at all. A local tree surgeon, Tom from T's Trees has inspected the tree and does not believe the tree trunk to be hollow. Photo2 shows damage around the trunk, which may be related to the tree's death. This damage was there when the current owners moved in.
