    T001x Beech Tree. 2m 2.5m back to boundary over car park (back to suitable secondary growth points). T002 Pollard Sycamore down to roof height / previous points back to boundary. T003 Reduce Hazel back down to previous pollard points. G001 Reduce mix species of trees and shrubs to give a clearance of 1- 1.5m away from the building. (not believed to be protected) Reasons - The proposed works are intended to maintain appropriate clearance from the building, reduce branch encroachment over the car park and adjoining boundary, and allow access for routine building inspection and maintenance. Re-pollarding the sycamore and hazel to their established pollard points will manage subsequent regrowth and continue their previous management regime, whilst retaining the trees and their amenity contribution.
