We now have a proliferation of holly trees that have no foliage from the ground to 7-10m (20 - 30 feet) up and then a crown that obscures most of the sunlight. Remove as many of the Holly trees as I could and as a minimum to remove the sick and dead and clear a 10 ft 'halo' around significant trees. I estimate that there are between 700 and 1200 Holly trees within the Green shaded area that need removing. I estimate approximately 90% are less than 100mm diameter 500mm above ground level.

The willow tree that is the subject of this application is located in the north east corner of the garden close to the boundaries of two other properties. It is the only willow tree in the garden. The tree is marked with a '1' on the location plan. This tree has grown far too large for the location and is overhanging/encroaching on to neighbouring gardens, one property is very close to it. In addition the branches are now putting weight on the leylandi hedges on the the northern and eastern boundaries so could damage them. These hedges are otherwise in very good condition. We wish to have it pollarded and at the same time a maximum of 1m of one of the large branches in the centre cut back to improve the shape and general aesthetics.
