Council sourceT 1 ( T52 ) and T2 ( T53) are Mature Yew trees growing beside the entrance to the property and further along the sunken lane. Both are fairly large with heights and spread of approx 10-12m. Applicant would like to crown thin/crown reduce both trees by 20% so as to maintain them in the existing available space. T1 grows on the bank below the property entrance drive to property as well as entrance to outbuilding/garage and as such is somewhat restricted in space. Its canopy is starting to encroach on the lower of the two entrances to the property. A small amount of crown lifting over the lane has been recommended along with a 20% crown thin and reduction with the majority of the material removed being from outer canopy in order to maintain the tree within the existing situation. T2 is situated further along the hedge line where it is less restricted. Here the emphasis will be put on crown lifting and lightly crown reducing the tree in order to maintain it as a specimen tree within the situation available.
