    This application has been submitted based on advice from a qualified Tree surgeon. The work will be undertaken by DJB Tree Specialists ltdTree 1 - SycamoreThis tree has not been maintained since we moved into the property 18 years ago. The trunk is approximately 5-6 metres from the front of the house and I estimate it to be anything between 80-100 ft high at least. Lower branches approaching the house are approx 2 metres from the house. There has been debris in high winds that is also a hazard.The tree is healthy and in summer due to the density of branches and foliage it blocks most sunlight from our property and takes sun off the entire row of Forest Bank due to where it is located in relation to the sun. I am very concerned from an insurance perspective about the safety elements of branches falling in high winds and equally if the tree was to hit the house with its current density this would cause significant damage.My request is to reduce the overall height of the tree, the density of the tree / foliage and potentially removal of the lower branches of the crown. The advice from DJB was that it was appropriate to request a 30% reduction of the crown but in addition to that I am asking for the crown to be thinned by 30% as well. In terms of the crown reduction approx 15 - 20 ft is probably what needs to come off the height purely on safety grounds.This will make the tree much safer, less of an insurance / safety concern and will allow additional sunlight for the entire row of Forest Bank.Tree 2 - AshThis tree has again not been maintained but is not a very healthy tree with some branches getting little foliage and others none. Although we do not need permission for dead branches to be removed I wanted to include in the application for DJB to examine and remove any damaged or diseased branches as required. Wildlife is very important to us and so we want to retain some elements of any dead branches as long as they are safe. Again we apply therefore fo...
