We seek consent to undertake essential maintenance works to the following protected trees, in order to safeguard their long-term health, structural integrity and visual amenity: T002 - English Yew: Removal of major deadwood and crown clean, followed by a targeted lateral reduction of approximately 1-2 m on the east aspect to correct one-sided growth and restore a more balanced crown. T003 - Sycamore: Removal of major deadwood and crown clean, with a lateral reduction of approximately 1-2 m on the east aspect proposed to address asymmetric growth and promote a more evenly proportioned canopy. We also seek consent to undertake essential maintenance works to T001 - English Yew: Removal of deadwood followed by a crown clean, together with a light lateral reduction of approximately 1-2 m on the north and east aspects in order to address asymmetric growth. These works are necessary due to the declining condition of the crown and to mitigate potential health and safety risks arising from its current imbalance.
