  TPO564 Sandy Lane, Northwood. Species/Description: Conifer (TPO tree. Ref T108). We have a large conifer in our garden (see sketch plan where the conifer is highlighted yellow). It is c. 15 metres high with wide branches. It is has grown to the extent that the area of garden around it is now in the shade and other plants/grass cannot grown because the sunlight is blocked out. We intend to trim/prune the conifer (using professional tree surgeons) to reduce the size by c. 33%.

  It is proposed to fell two Silver Birches; and to carry out tree surgery, including a crown reduction by 2-3m to three Oaks. The two Silver Birches (G4) are heavily suppressed and are both leaning on the rear neighbour's roof (Dell Lodge). The Oaks (T1, T2 & T3) are blocking sunlight into the front and rear gardens (T1 has been reduced in the past).

  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.
