Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1 - Oak, carry out a radial reduction by no more than 2.5m. (Amended) The customer is getting fed up with the sheer quantity of leaves and acorns as well as worrying that the growth is getting rather overextended from the pruning points.

The Leylandii at the front boundary of our property has been at some point topped so all current branches and tree growth are offshoot branches. This has resulted in many dead lower branches and growth towards the road where the public walk. I am seeking permission to trim back the branches hanging over the pavement to prevent personal injury to pedestrians on the highway. This would involve crown thinning the dead branches up to 3 metres and trimming back up to 1.5 metres towards the boundary wall.

T1 - Conifer - Fell. Current amenity value is poor due to poor form. Tree is close to the property and provides more of an issue for the homeowners than it provides value to local area. (Agreed it is a very poor specimen). T2 - Copper Beech - Reduce current height from 8 meters by 1.5 meters to leave a height of 6.5 meters. Reduce sides by up to a meter to allow to shape around the new height. This tree has already been pruned and its height and spread will need to be curtailed given the growing space available. T3 - Leylandii - Fell - This tree is suppressed and is being pushed to grow taller due to close competition without significant secondary growth. It is now growing into the London Plane tree of which has a more significant value to the local area. T4 - London Plane - Crown raise on the South Side by up to 8 meters, removing the two lowest limbs that grow toward the property in order to prevent damage to the roof of the property. These branches cannot be seen by the public and therefore offer no amenity value. Crown raise over footpath to a height of 2.5 metres for public safety. T5,6, & 7 Fell Cypress Trees that compete directly with the London Plane.

T2 - Copper beech - Reduce current height from 8 meters by 1.5 meters to leave a height of 6.5 meters. Reduce sides by up to a meter to allow to shape around the new height. T1 - Conifer - Fell. Current amenty value is poor due to poor form. Tree is close to the property and provides more of an issue for the homeowners than it provides value to local area. T3 - Leylandii - Reduce current height of 16 meters by 4 meters to leave a height of 12 meters. This tree is suppressed and are being pushed to grow taller due to close competition without significant secondary growth. It is now growing into the London Plane tree of which has a more significant value to the local area. It will be good to establish a managed height for the Leylandii now before the tree grows too big. Crown raise above the footpath & Road by 5.5 meters in accordance with highways regulations. T4 - London Plane - Rather than reducing in height, it would be preferable to assess the tree every 2-3 years, or after, storms, to check for defects which may compromise its stability. Crown raise on the South Side by up to 8 meters, removing the two lowest limbs that grow toward the property in order to prevent damage to the roof of the property. These branches cannot be seen by the public and therefore offer no amenity value. Crown raise on the South Side by up to 8 meters, removing the two lowest limbs that grow toward the property in order to prevent damage to the roof of the property. Crown raise over footpath to a height of 2.5 metres T5 - Leylandii - This tree doesn't appear to be in competition with the plane - in fact I think it compliments it. If you top it, you will really reduce its amenity value. Maybe consider removing the other (3) Cypress trees in the future - as we discussed. These trees will compete directly with the Plane as they mature.
