  4. Unknown26/00027/TPO

    2/TPO/00096: T1 Beech - 2 metre reduction on lateral branches overhanging neighbours to the East. T3,T4,T5,T6 Sycamore- 2 metre lateral branches reduction on branches overhanging neighbours to the east. 1.5 meter height reduction. The trees are heavily weight to the east with minimal growth on the hall side. This will keep the trees aesthetically in proportion and balance the crown. T7 Sweet chestnut - 2 metre lateral branches reduction on branches overhanging neighbours to the east. 1.5 metre height reduction. The trees are heavily weight to the east with minimal growth on the hall side. This will keep the trees aesthetically in proportion and balance the crown. The neighbouring properties have had serval limbs falling into their property. While there has not been any significant damage I find it a reasonable request to reduce the tip weight on the trees to minimise the risk of more branches and debris falling onto property. The trees are situated directly over driveways and access roads with high traffic use and high value targets. All pruning cuts will be carried out to bs3998 and less than 30% mass of any individual tree will be removed
