  There are 4 trees growing within the boundary wall of the property. The arborist has said to apply for 'cyclical permission' to pollard these trees. The trees are within large hedges that will be trimmed at the same time. The trees are now too tall and restrict light to the property. They are also affecting the general appearance of the boundary hedges and the tree surgeon has recommended 'cyclical permission' to maintain the trees to a safe condition. Trees are 2 x Beech, 1 x Hornbeam Oak and 1 x Wellingtonia 05.04.21 - The Beeches and Hornbeam Oak, which are situated along the corner of Hunsdon Road and Braddens Hill Road East, are all "sat" on the original stone and earth bank / wall which forms the boundary of our property. I can confirm there are actually three trees on the Braddons Hill Road side and not two as shown in our original submission i.e. a total of four trees. These trees are all approx. 10.6 metres high from the level of our drive or 12.5 metres above the road level outside, as the wall stands 1.9 metres high on the road side. We have a telephone wire running from the telegraph pole in Braddons Hill Road East to our house at a height above our drive of approx. 7.1 metres and we would like to reduce the height of the trees to below that height to ensure the trees do not damage the telephone wire. This would entail reducing them from 10.6 metres to 7.0 metres i.e. still 8.9 metres above the road from the outside and a reduction in height of about one third. The Wellingtonia sits at the end of our garden (which slopes down from the house) on our perimeter with Braddons Hill Road East, again the tree sits on the stone and earth bank / wall. We have estimated the tree's height to be 17.4 metres and externally, allowing for the wall it is 19.2 metres above the road level. Again we would like to reduce this in height by about one third so it would be approx. 12 metres high or 13.8 metres above the road level. The photographs we prev

  Tree Species - Turkey Oak Only one needs pruning but there are 5 clustered together. One of the trees has 3 off shoots (branches) that fall into the Woodland property. Work required - to cut back the branches to prevent damage to the roof tiles. This will need at lease a 2m pruning on 3 branches - see photos.

  Conservation area ref 1972.014 Tree Reference: T1 Magnolia. Proposed Work: Fell, dismantle, and completely remove. Justification Reasons: Proximity: The trunk is growing directly against the external wall of the two-storey house. Light Nuisance: The 5 metre tall and 3 metre canopy spread covers windows and severely restricts natural light. Structural Risk: The root system is right up against the property foundations, creating an immediate concern for structural damage. 10/09/26 Amendment to address further information required. The tree is believed to be no older than 40 years old and therefore not subject to any constraints of the 1972 Tree preservation order. There is no evidence of any previous pruning that may have effected the size of the trunk or rate of growth and no previous applications for work to be carried out on the tree on the planning system.
