  Scots Pine (T1) - Remove The base of the tree is 110cm from the existing silver birch, with the result that over the years much of the growth overhangs our neighbours driveway at Chenies. Potential danger from branches falling onto their property. It has a low amenity value being an unexceptional specimen. Furthermore, the combined foliage with the silver birch creates excessive shading to the front of my property.

  Two trees both in my rear garden: Plan 1. Cherry tree. Decay in lower trunk. The tree has become tall, spindly and in poor condition. It represents a danger of collapse to both my shed and my neighbour's. We have already suffered a substantial branch falling on my shed. Proposed work: removal of tree. Plan 2. Ash. Whilst carrying out other work, it became clear there is decay to two out of the three stems probably resulting from works carried out perhaps some 20 or 30 years ago, by the previous owner. Many substantial branches have been shed, representing a danger to my grandchildren who play in this area. Proposed work to re-pollard all three stems to eliminate decayed timber and maintain shape and balance. The proposal is for crown thinning by up to 20% and crown height & lateral reduction by up to 2 metres, ensuring an aesthetic shape is maintained. Both trees are towards the rear of the garden.
