    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.
