    T1: Large Beech (Fagus sylvatica) located in the front garden leaning heavily towards the property. Fell to ground level and poison by way of Eco Plugs to inhibit regrowth. This is a large tree in close vicinity and is leaning towards the property. To avoid possible failure in the future especially with any high winds, it would be better to remove the tree. T2: Dead Holly (Llex aquifolium) located in the hedgerow next to T1 - Fell to ground level and poison by way of Eco Plugs to inhibit regrowth. T3: Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) located on the westside front boundary Remove the two lowest laterals to the southside of the canopy, giving clearance from BT wires.

    Opposite the above address is the horse field and stables. In the field there are 30 (T1-T30) sycamore trees which are poisonous to horses and in the past the owners have had one die as a result from eating the seeds. for this reason they moved the horses to a neighbouring field which they rented but the owner is no longer willing to rent it to them so they need to go back to using their own field. These are self set sycamore trees that have been left to grow massively out of control for the last 30-40 years, the plan is to pollard each tree at around 5ft to allow them to still grow but not high enough so they blow the seeds all across the field. Also there is a mix of ash and sycamore (G1) as a hedge that hasn't been reduced for some years. This will be cut back to previous cuts to around 5-6ft.
