Council planning record

T1 (Mature Birch): Crown reduce by up to 3m on height and all sides of the tree. To reduce height from 14m to 11m and width from 16m to 10m approximately. To also crown thin by 15%, dead wood and the major limb from near ground level on the southern side of the tree. To reduce back to laterals. Reason: To increase light to the conservatory underneath and also to the neighbours swimming pool area. Due to the position of this tree we have reduced this tree on at least four occasions. The larger reduction points have weakened due to decay and to reduce the weight and leverage on the end growth. T2,T3, T4, T5 (Small Birch): Reduce height by 3-4m (from 10m to 6-7m) and sides by 1m (from 4m to 3m). T6, T7 (Rowan): Reduce height by 1.5m (from 6m to 4.5m) and width from 4m to 3m. Reason: These trees (T2 to T7) are shooting up and preventing light from entering the house, making it very dark on the ground floor.
