Back Garden: T1 Swamp Cypress: Reduce crown by approximately 2 to 3m in height and lateral spread not exceeding 20 to 25% of live crown volume, retain natural conical shape and balanced branch framework, and remove dead, crossing and damaged branches.Council Note:Following a desktop audit and review of the Councils Tree Preservation Order records, no evidence has been identified that Order 208 (1970) affecting this site was ever confirmed. The Council does not therefore treat the site as subject to a valid Tree Preservation Order. The application has accordingly been withdrawn from TPO determination.
