  T1 - Sycamore south of the property - Pollard back to primary pollard points with final cuts made at approximately X4 metres from ground level. Initiate a well-balanced candelabra framework for future branch structure to establish. Tree is heavily leaning over railway lines on a steep bank with recent limb failures apparent in the tree. These works will massively reduce the wind sale effect especially when the tree is located in a very exposed location. T2 - Sycamore to the east of property - Crown reduce by 2-3m from the branch tips overall back to suitable pruning points while retaining the main framework & shape of the crown & therefore a high proportion of the foliage bearing structure. Tree is showing lower leaf density than expected at the time of year. Pruning the tree will reduce the wind sale effect on a very exposed location. Pruning cuts will not exceed 50mm in diameter. T2 existing height is 15m and post height after reducing is 12m.

  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.
