    REAR: ONE: Ash Tree (T2) Ht 10m approx. FELL to ground level. REASONS: We intend to remove the Ash completely and replace with a small orchard of (4) apple trees, a kitchen garden for growing vegetables, and a wildflower area. The Ash is currently growing close to the dwelling and is casting shade over a large portion of the garden/woodland, making it unsuitable for productive growing. By removing the tree we will be able to create a productive growing space and become more sustainable. There are 2 other large Ash trees in the woodland, so we will increase diversity by planting fruit trees in the area. We also plan to plant vegetables and wildflowers in the area, with the long term goal of attracting more biodiversity into the woodland, including butterflies and bees. The wood from the felled tree will also be used to create safe habitats for wildlife including hedgehogs. All work will be carried out by trained, competent tree surgeons.

    REAR: ONE Lombardy Poplar (T1)(ht.16m) CROWN REDUCE by 10-11m to ht.5-6m, REDUCE SPREAD from 10m to 5m to create new pollard. Reason: multi-stemmed tree has had a major stem failure exposing large cavity approx.2m above gd level. Remaining stem above cavity is weighted towards neighbouring properties and a crown reduction to reduce weight and sail above cavity is urgently needed to minimise risk of future failures.�Merely reducing the one stem would drastically change the balance of the overall canopy and exposure to wind would be likely to cause more failures on the remaining stems.� Crown reduction is required for safety to reduce overall canopy to approximately 5-6m from ground level (please see annotated photo) to create a new pollard.�Informative A: thank you for managing the tree by safe reduction to retain as a low pollard for rear amenity, wildlife and canopy shade to reduce heatwave temperatures due to climate change.Informative B: please create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
