    FRONT (London Rd): ONE Bay (T1)(ht.7m) FELL. Reason: it is located approximately 1m from the main foundations of the building so removal will mitigate future issues. A mediterranean garden will be planted up as a replacement as an example of a drought resistant form of urban planting. REAR (by nursery): ONE Beech (T2)(ht.8m) FELL. Reason: it is dominated by the larger beech & yew trees growing nearby leading to phototropic lateral growth towards the nursery that will cause problems for the gutters & roof. Another beech tree will be planted a little further away in the south downs.REAR (by nursery): ONE Yew (T3)(ht.10m) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 1m from 10m to ht.9m, LATERAL REDUCE by 2m from 8m to 6m Southern laterals.

    REAR: TWO: Leylandii Trees (T1, T2)(ht.11m & 12m) FELL.Reason: removal of these trees and replanting with a smaller species would better suit the space available. The leylandii do provide good screening, but crown reduction would leave a sparse canopy, unusual shape unlikely to foliage re-green.

Suggested tree species: strawberry tree, whitebeam, crab apple, hazel, holly, goat willow, spindle, common pear. Hedge shrubs: hawthorn, hazel, holly, alder buckthorn, wild privet. Informative B: please create habitat log piles with some arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
