Part of this application was approved and part refused. The decision notice on the council portal sets out which is which.
Proposal
02/2/73 T1 - Cedar - Remove the partially split and storm-damaged branch by pruning it back to the supporting union. This accords with BS3998:2010, which recommends the removal of defective or weakened branches where they present a foreseeable risk of failure. Reduce the extended branch over the garden by cutting it back to a suitable secondary growth point. This is consistent with BS3998:2010 guidance on crown reduction, ensuring that pruning cuts are made to appropriate laterals to maintain natural form, limit exposure, and reduce the likelihood of future structural imbalance. T2 - Ash - Side reduce on garden side of number 42 by no more than 2m, removing material no greater than 25mm in diameter. Remove deadwood throughout the crown (exempt from notification) to reduce the risk of branch drop and maintain safe site use. T3 Beech - Cut back the crown to provide a clearance of up to 3m from the roofline, selectively reducing only those branches that directly encroach on the structure. Pruning cuts will be made to suitable secondary growth points in accordance with BS3998:2010, maintaining natural form and avoiding excessive exposure of the remaining crown.

T1 - Oak - Veteran Tree on top of sandstone cliff/embankment - Reduce by 50% - This is an over mature tree with significant defects and cavities, which is in a difficult location at the top of a steep bank, with no access for a MEWP. We would recommend removing a large proportion of the crown structure whilst it is still safe to do so as waiting for the tree to deteriorate further may increase the risk factor of carrying out the work. Whilst it is recognised that under normal circumstances such a heavy reduction would not be good practice, given the location and characteristics of this tree it may be prudent to be quite heavy with it now to reduce possible future risks. G1 - Mixed Group - Smaller trees on top of bank - Reduce height by up to 30%

T1 Sycamore- Remove The tree works are proposed to stop the influence of the tree(s) on the soil below building foundation level and provide long term stability at 40 Clifton Road, Wolverhampton, West Midlands, WV6 9AP Estimated costs of repair to the building are ?10871.04 if the influence of the tree(s) remain and ?35,000 if the proposed tree works are allowed to proceed. Granting permission will limit these costs. In the event of a refusal we, or our clients, will seek to secure compensation for the additional costs incurred through Section 202(e). Should the tree/s remain the total cost of repairs will be the Superstructural repairs + Alternative method of repairs = ?45,871.04 It is the expert opinion of both the case engineer and arboriculturalist that on the balance of probabilities the supporting information demonstrates the influence of the tree(s). Note: Further monitoring results may be submitted if these become available during the course of this application.
