  TPO Ref: 2004.012 Applying for works on T4 Pine (Pinus radiata), T5 Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) and T6 Pine Customer wants to apply to crown raise T4 - Pine (Pinus radiata) by roughly 4 metres from ground level with the aim to improve the view from the house and to install a new and safe fence along the cliff edge in the future. The beginning of T4's crown is at roughly 3 metres from the ground. Customer wants to apply to crown raise T5 - Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) by roughly 5 metres from ground level to improve the view from the house. This tree is hanging over a public beech and the customer is worried about the weight of the tree becoming too much as the cliff its sat on continues to erode over the years from the impact of the sea. Customer also has the intention of installing a fence on the boundary to prevent public who are visiting the house walking too close to the cliff edge. Customer wants to apply to crown raise T6 - Pine (Pinus radiata) by roughly 4 metres from ground level. The beginning of T6's canopy consists of dead or crossing branches. The customer would like to do this to improve the view from the house and to also create space to install a fence on the cliff edge to prevent public who are visiting the house walking too close to the cliff edge.
