  T1 is a mature Monterey Pine (pinus radiata) which is growing adjacent to the boundary between Thornhill Cottage and Mayfield. The tree trunk is within the garden of Thornhill Cottage but the crown overhangs both the gardens of Mayfield and Thornhill Cottage, as seen on the attached plan. Branch unions appear good and the parts of the main stem which could be inspected from Mayfield appear sound. However, one large large lower limb has suffered a compression failure in storm force winds, and there is a fracture across it and associated cavity which is ~25 cm deep. An aerial inspection confirmed the extent of the split. It is proposed to remove this branch (back to the main stem) to remove risk of branch failure in further high winds. In addition, there is evidence of decline and shoot dieback in parts of the crown, and the tree regularly sheds cones into Mayfield's garden during hot or windy conditions. It is proposed to remove crown deadwood, pruning each dead branch back to a healthy growing point, and to remove cones where these are attached poorly and at risk of falling onto people or property underneath causing injury or death. This tree has suffered previous cracks and splits in large branches and has had previous remedial works carried out. This sensitive intervention now continues work to ensure that this tree which is of significance in the conservation area landscape can continue to be enjoyed safely in the winter to come.

  Mature lime tree adjacent to shared driveway, overhanging neighbouring property line. After carrying out a basic ground inspection whilst carrying out other work at the property, we decided to conduct a climbing inspection to assess the condition of historical pollard points at approximately 8m from ground level due to poor visibility from the ground. Upon climbing the tree we inspected the main unions at each historic pollard point and as suspected from ground level, there were multiple areas of concern with included unions, pockets of dirt collecting within the unions and branches beginning to fail within the upper crown of the tree. The tree is situated close to a hilltop and can be exposed to strong winds. Due to the location of the tree there is a likelihood of serious damage or potential injury should any of the main unions fail in strong winds. I feel the tree is long overdue attention given the species and evidence of previous pruning. For the reasons outlined above I?m requesting a pollard at 8m (approx), to the previous pollard points, whilst retaining some of the lower secondary limbs, pollarded away from the stem, to give the tree some shape whilst it recovers from the pollard, and gives us anchor points for roped access for any future pruning.

  Variation of condition in relation to P/2021/1358 (Formation of a single storey flat roof extension to the side incl roof lights. Formation of a 2 storey extension to the front. Formation of a single storey extension to the rear with a balcony above. Formation of an attached garage replacing existing sheds.) Condition: P1 Approved plans. Variation sought: The approved scheme shows an area of new external brick wall. It wasn't possible to get a matching brick, so the wall has been rendered to match the other areas of extension. Condition to reference the attached updated elevation drawing rather than the previous one.
