  Horse chestnut (T1) Proposed works: Crown lift of low branches to achieve a clearance of approximately 4m above ground level with cuts no larger than 50mm. Works are required to alleviate obstruction and encroachment onto the adjacent highway, driveway, garden, and property areas directly beneath the crown. Specification: All operations to be carried out in accordance with BS 3998:2010 (Tree Work ? Recommendations). Removal is limited to lower-order branches that impede access and damage the arrangement of first-order branches beneath the crown dripline. Works will maintain tree health and form, focusing on clearance rather than reduction. Supporting context: A similar consent was granted in 2015 due to the tree?s asymmetrical crown interfering with neighbouring vegetation. Current encroachment affects a well-established Japanese maple (SW) and Laurus hedge (E), both of which will benefit from reduced competition for light and space. Intervention will prevent further damage to the lower crown and improve coexistence with adjacent plantings. Reason for works: To ensure safe clearance above the highway and driveway, reduce interference with neighbouring vegetation, and maintain the long-term health and structural integrity of the tree.

  Consent was granted under application reference AT/2023/0123; however, the approved tree works were not undertaken. A new application is therefore being submitted. T1 ? Lime: Pollard to the specified height to manage the risk associated with extensive decay and hollowing within the lower stem. Mallet sounding indicates that the hollow extends approximately 750 mm above the uppermost visible cavity. T2 ? Western red cedar: Fell to ground level due to its poor physiological and structural condition following historically inappropriate and excessively severe pruning. The previous pruning does not accord with current good arboricultural practice as set out in BS 3998:2010 and has left the tree with limited potential for satisfactory long-term retention. The tree has limited visibility from public vantage points, and its removal would therefore have little effect on the area's wider visual amenity. T3 ? Oak: Reduce the crown to suitable growth points near the former pollard points, retaining adequate live growth wherever practicable. The work is required to reduce crown dimensions and associated mechanical loading because the tree occupies a confined position immediately adjacent to a boundary wall. The crown is markedly asymmetrical due to suppression and shading from taller neighbouring trees.
