  T001 Copper beech (Fagus sylvatica purpurea) - Sectionally dismantle and fell. T001 is situated approximately 1.2 metres from the dwelling, with 6?7 metres of canopy overhang, resulting in physical interference with the building, retaining wall damage consistent with root expansion, shading of habitable rooms, and ongoing maintenance burden . Although assessed as a tolerable risk, its retention would require repeated pruning that is considered unsustainable and likely to compromise its long-term form . The report also notes that the tree?s public visibility and wider amenity value are limited, with substantial surrounding tree cover maintaining local character . Replacement planting in a more suitable location within the garden is recommended , ensuring continued tree cover without the existing structural conflict or adverse impact on the enjoyment of the property.

  Requesting cyclical permission to re-pollard T1 Lime and G1 group of 12 Holme Oaks. Prior to having TPO's placed on them recently, these trees have been historically managed by pollarding, which kept them healthy and safe while encouraging new growth from the existing pollard points. Requesting cyclical permission to re-reduce G2 Field Maples - again these have been historically managed in this way to maintain the condition of the trees. Requesting cyclical permission to re-reduce T2 Sycamore - this has also been historically managed in this way to maintain its condition. Fell T3 and T4 due to dieback in the crown. These Pines are in close proximity to high value/risk targets in terms of property and public footpaths.
