Proposal
2 x Yew trees 2 no. Yew Trees to be felled because of my child eating one of the berries and being admitted to hospital because there had been a risk that she may have eaten the seed. The trees drop their berries in the garden and mean we are unable to leave our daughter in the garden without the risk she may eat one of the berries again. Remarks:

Yew tree We would ideally like to have the tree canopy reduced by 50% to allow more light into our garden which will in turn reduce the impact on our neighbours house. We are also concerned about the poisonous berries the tree has a habit of dropping with our child who we would want to let out in the garden. Remarks:

1- TPO T25 - Norway Maple 2- TPO T38 - Ash The trees are mature and form part of the established planting around the property, providing visual interest and amenity value for guests, visitors and neighbouring areas. The proposed works are limited to pruning the branches closest to the building, by a maximum of 2 metres, to maintain an appropriate clearance. The intention is to retain the trees and their overall appearance and continue to preserve their contribution to the character and amenity of the site. We are not aware of any specific historical significance associated with the trees.

Hazel There are approximately 10-15 multi-stemmed hazel trees in need of coppicing. Each will be reduced to 1-1.5 metres in height to allow healthy regrowth. Yew and Purple Plumb The purple plumb and yew trees will simply have 2-3 branches removed to raise the canopy to 4 metres to allow vehicular entrance to the property. All of these trees are within the woodland area or well within my boundary. Leylandii The branches overhanging the boundary fence along the 10-12 metre length of the growing raised beds will be trimmed back closer to the fence to allow light and rainfall to the raised beds.
