T21 Beech Tree: Request: Reduce regrowth by up to 1.0mT22 Oak Tree: Request: Reduce regrowth by up to 1.0m and remove dead wood. Remove epicormic growth on the lower stems to height of approximately 6.0m T24 Oak Tree Request: Reduce regrowth by up to 1.0m and remove dead wood. Remove epicormic growth on the lower stem to height of approximately 6.0m T21, T22, T24 JustificationThe proposed pruning will achieve a restoration of direct sunlight to the rear garden to a useful extent, without diminishing the trees??? public amenity value to any significant degree or causing them any appreciable physiological harm. It will restore the height back to the level of that granted by the previous consent given in October 2018.T23 Oak Tree: Request: Reduce to the approximate height of the first significant branch (circa 10m). Remove epicormic growth on the lower stem to height of approximately 4.0m above ground level. This is to allow the upper levels of the epicormic growth shape to the top of the newly formed stump. T23 JustificationThe root morphology is what one would expect for a tree that is established on top of an embankment. It is noted that the Oak tree is in decline and there has been some movement in the recent extreme storms.The reduction in overall height to a stump to the approximate height of the first significant branch will continue to allow decay to provide a degree of dead wood habitat, but mostly for epicormic growth to provide low level screening between the houses, and maintain a degree of public amenity.
