Reduction to shape canopy, pruning to suitable points and maintaining natural aesthetic.Reason: To give 2m clearance from the lamp column.FRONT: ONE Ash (T2)(ht.16m) LATERAL REDUCE SPREAD by 2m from 11m to 9m on W compass point. Reduction to shape canopy, pruning to suitable points and maintaining natural aesthetic.Reason: To cut back the canopy over the neighbours roof to allow 2m gap as the branches now hit the structure. FRONT: ONE Conifer (T3)(ht.16m) LATERAL REDUCE SPREAD by 2m from 9m to 7m on W compass point. Reduction to shape canopy, pruning to suitable points and maintaining natural aesthetic.Reason: Same as T2's reason for works.SIDE: TWO Holly (T4 & T5)(ht.12m) LATERAL REDUCE SPREAD by 2m from 9m to 7m on W compass point.

REPLANTING PROPOSAL: A native pollinator will be planted in a more suitable location.Informative A: it is unfortunate renewal of buildings insurance requires removal of T6 as it is a loss of urban forest benefits. Therefore the replacement tree for ash T6 is greatly appreciated, suggested species field maple, whitebeam, wild service tree, bird cherry, sessile oak; to thank for retaining other trees for amenity, wildlife and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change.Informative B: huge thank you for retaining other trees for amenity, wildlife, reduction in air pollution and shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change.Informative C: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
