  Crown Reduction to T5 English Oak (Category A): undertake 2 metre crown reduction to improve light levels as well as reducing future stress on the foundations of the new extension. Removal of deadwood and improving safety. Removal of Ornamental Cherry T2 (Category C): T2 is a semi-mature cherry tree close to the garage, its rooting area is notably poor being surrounded by paving and driveway. It has slender form and its canopy touches the garage roof-line. T2 is in close proximity of the house so its removal will reduce future stress on the foundations of the house and garage. We propose the removal and replanting of a new replacement cherry. Phased removal of G3 Cypress Group (Category C): The trees were planted to create screening and privacy, but have not been height managed and are now excessively tall. The trees have large stems, some less than 2m from the boundary walls and close to the foundations of the house and not sustainable. The trees' canopies touch the house and roof-line, creating excessive shade on the south eastern side of the garden. G3 cypress are still not mature and can be expected to continue vigorous growth, potentially creating issues and stresses on the house foundations. We propose a 'phased tree removal' of G3 cypress group over several years. The removal of G3 will have many advantages, including improving light levels to the eastern garden and will be highly beneficial to nearby groups of English Yew (G2) G1 Boundary Cypress Trees (Category C): This linear group of cypress located on the south western boundary, has been left to grow excessively tall over a period of time and requires maintenance. Reduce their height by 50% to allow more light into the garden and create a formal 2m hedge.
