  Tree 1 - conifer- to be removed as outgrown its position & causing an obstruction. Tree 2 - Crown reduction to approx 12 ft tall & 6 ft wide. Tree 3 - Crown reduction to approx 20ft tall x 10ft wide. There are currently brambles & ivy growing within which makes it look much denser & will be removed. Tree 4 - conifer - It will only be dead branches which will be removed which I realise permission is not required for. So no new picture. Tree 5 - the Pittosporum will require crown reduction. Unfortunately due to its current height & position it is difficult to estimate what the reduction will be to but is still likely approx 20 ft tall & 10ft wide. As can be seen there is a variegated ivy growing up it which will be be removed.

  3 x Norway Maples at the north boundary of the property require a reduction in height and spread. The work to be carried out is as per previous approved applications. The trees will be cut back by a professional tree surgeon to previous pruning points as recommended by the tree surgeon. Related works were approved in 2019 (AT/2019/0102) and in 2017 (AT/2017/0038). The reduction is required as the trees dominate the rear of the house, shade the garden and block the gutters with fallen leaves. In addition 1 x Sycamore on the southern boundary of the property and overhanging the road will be cut back to previous pruning points by a qualified tree surgeon. This work was also carried out and approved in 2017 (AT/2017/0161), 2014 (AT/2014/0025) and 2011 (AT/2011/0038). This will be carried out to reduce overhang on the highway and will provide more light to the neighbourhood.

  Ash (T1) - fell because the tree's canopy fails to contribute to the visual amenities that enhance the character and setting of the Conservation Area. A healthy and well-structured canopy is essential for maintaining the aesthetic and ecological value of such areas, providing shade, habitat for wildlife, and visual cohesion with the surrounding landscape.
