    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.
