  Plan is to pollard T1 (Sycamore) and T2 (Oak) to the height of the larger conifer hedge as shown in marked photo. The primary reason for this work is risk mitigation. A large Ash tree that previously stood directly between T1 and T2 failed a few years ago, falling into the school playground located immediately behind the property. Honey fungus was identified on the failed Ash, indicating the potential for decay and structural weakness in trees of this proximity and species. Pollarding T1 and T2 to the height of the neighboring conifer hedge will limit the risk of structural failure while maintaining the trees in a safe and manageable form. The proposed pollarding is proportionate and minimal, ensuring the trees continue to contribute to the character and visual amenity of the area, while mitigating the risk posed by potential fungal infection or structural defects.
