    24/1402/TCA Submitted 3 Sep 2024 50 yards away

    Ash T1 and Ash T2 per sketch map are self seeded trees. Both have grown up through the hedge with crooked trunks and are leaning into the garden. They are now encroaching on the existing whitebeam in the garden and the holly in the neighbour's garden. I would like to remove both these trees. Field maple T3- trunk in neighbour's garden but growing over my fence. The tree is engulfed in ivy which needs severing and the crown is messy and top heavy. I would like to reduce the overhanging growth on my side of the fence by 2m and reduce the height by 2m to make it a more stable structure. Also I will remove all the dead wood within it. Holly T4 - messy and top heavy as a result of ivy infestation from neighbour's side. Once ivy cleared, I would like crown tidied up to make stable. I would like the height of the holly reduced by 2m to make it less top heavy and the overhanging growth on my side of the fence reduced by 2m. Both T3 and T4 are old hedging plants which have been allowed to overgrow
