2 x Mature Sycamore Trees 1 x Walnut Tree Two mature Sycamore trees: application to remove. One Walnut tree - to be retained. We wish to remove the two Sycamore trees, these stand within 2m of each other, and c.4m away from a Walnut tree whose development is inhibited by the Sycamores. Reason: The Sycamores cast dense shadow over the plot below, which cannot be cultivated, and undesirable shadow (and shelter) over the nearby kitchen garden and other beds. The trees are unattractive and have no place in a domestic garden. They also inhibit the growth of the adjacent Walnut (to be kept). They overshadow (and may threaten) an adjacent house in Church Close. A previous tree nearby was responsible for collapse of the listed wall. We propose to replace with Dawdia and Katsura ornamental trees. Remarks:

T1 - Ash T2 - Yew T3 - Yew The trees have been assessed by Mr Richard Upton, a qualified, Oxford tree surgeon known to the Council. The wording used herewith is mine, written as a lay person, quoting his opinion. A copy is being sent to Mr Upton who would undertake the work, if approved. T1 - This Ash drops branches, though is healthy, but is now threatening due to its long limbs which are so close to the house; the tree towers over the house, and also shades the house. (See Photos A & B). Richard Upton put forward the various possible solutions, and said that the crown reduction method would be the best option for the future of this tree; this should leave a well-proportioned tree. Crown thinning would leave long, spindly limbs. Considerable reduction is needed (20 feet is estimated, but the photos may suggest modifying this (photos C and D). T2 & 3 - These Yew trees have intermingling branches, with trunks 2 metres apart, while lie each side of a path (photo E). The trees are now very dominant, and cut out light in the house, and are smothering surrounding trees. Mr Upton thinks that the best approach here would be to reduce the size by partial reduction, within the category of crown reduction. An arch would be formed using the two trees. The main trunks would not be affected, and a shortening of 6 to 8 feet would occur. Remarks:
