REFER TO ATTCHED SCHEDULE FOR MORE DETAIL - INSUFFICIENT CHARACTER SPACE PERMITTED 0484 - Bay - Reduce height of crown to 6 metres above ground level to improve bushier lateral growth and form - Tree unlikely to be covered by TPO 0490 - Beech - Coppice the tree at 0.3 metres above ground level. Retain coppice stool for regeneration and bank stabilization. - The residents now wish to remove the remaining stem as it has crown asymmetry towards the flats and is now in contact with the building. 0491 - Oak - Coppice the tree at 0.3 metres above ground level. Retain coppice stool for regeneration and bank stabilization - Spindly, drawnup tree with lean to west over the building due to strong competition with more dominant trees. Tree unlikely to be covered by TPO 0492 - Beech - Coppice the tree at 0.3 metres above ground level. Retain coppice stool for regeneration and bank stabilization - Spindly, drawn-up tree with lean to west over the building due to strong competition with more dominant trees. Tree unlikely to be covered by TPO 0734 - Sycamore - Coppice young Sycamore stem. - Young regrowth from coppice stool. No future under suppression from Oak (0494).Reaching over flats and unsuitable species for proximity to flats 0497 - Oak - Lightly reduce crown by c. 0.5 to 1 metres (but no further than previous reduction points) to maintain a compact and rounded form. Tree has been previously reduced in height and spread giving a dense and compact crown. 0498 - Holly - Pollard tree to c. 4 metres above ground level to improve vista for residents. Small misshapen tree growing under crown of 0499 with natural lean to the south-west. No significant merit . - Tree unlikely to be covered by TPO 0499 - False Acacia - Formatively remove the smallest stem closest to the road . Crown lift and selectively reduce lowest branches as shown in annotated photo. - Smallest stem closest to the road with some cankering. The residents wish to create a slightly narrower lower crown to maintain vista from flats 0979 - Oak - Laterally reduce branches on north-east and south sides by c. 1.5 metres in length to provide a narrower shape and restrict encroachment on vista for residents. As shown in annotated photo. 0992 - Strawberry Tree - Crown lift to a max height of 3 m over the lawn by removal of secondary branches less than 70mm diameter. Remove 1 x 70mm branch on the northern stem as shown in the annotated photo + a few <30mm branches to match up. All pruning cuts to made back to a node - no stub cuts. - Residents would like a little more crown lifting to reduce dominance over the lawn 0498 to 0988 - All trees overhanging the highway - Crown lift all pendulous secondary branches overhanging the carriageway to a maximum height of 5.2 m above highway level .Continue to face back (hedge-cutter) shrub vegetation overhanging the footpath flush with the retaining wall to maintain a minimum of 2.5 m clearance over the pavement
