T1 (Sycamore): Fell. Self-seeded tree with poor structure and form, growing on a steep slope close to the house. Limited rooting increases the risk of instability, and the tree contributes to excessive shading. Removal is proposed to maintain garden safety and prevent potential future damage. T2 (Sycamore): Fell. Self-seeded tree of poor form. Removal is required to allow for landscaping and garden restoration and shading issues. T3 (Sycamore): Fell. Self-seeded tree with poor structure, located on a steep slope adjacent to the house. Removal is proposed to prevent future risk to the building and allow for appropriate landscape re-establishment. T4 (Sycamore): Crown reduction of approx. 2?3m in all directions, maintaining a natural overall shape. Crown thin to reduce internal congestion and remove deadwood. Works will increase light to the garden and house, and reduce encroachment over the lawn and building, while retaining the tree's long-term health and amenity contribution. T5 (Sycamore): Fell. Self-seeded tree, growing very close to the house, creating shading and presenting potential future structural impact. Removal will allow for appropriate and sustainable landscape management.
