View council mapFront of House: T1: Sycamore: Remove lower epicormic to 3m. T2: Holly: Trim to compact shape. G1: 4 x Olives: Reduce height by 0.5m. Rear Garden: T3: Purple plum (8m): Reduce height by 2m back to previous. T6: Holm oak (10m): Crown reduce by 2m to main canopy. T7: Ash (12m): Fell to ground level as tree is very close to neighbouring building and chimney stack. Repeated pruning to keep it at a size suitable for location will result unsightly regrowth and decay at pruning points. The tree is growing into and hampering the development of T6 Holm Oak which is a highly important tree in the context of the rear garden and surrounding area. Tree is at risk to ash dieback in the future. T9: Holly (7m): Reduce back from garden by 1m. T10: Cherry (5m): Crown reduce by 1m and remove rose. T11: Strawberry tree (5m): Crown reduce by 1m. T12: Sumac (6m): Crown reduce by 0.5m. T13: Sycamore (12m): Crown reduce by 2m and remove 2 lower branches that are encroaching neighbouring property. All to keep trees at a size suitable for their location and as part of regular maintenance. T8 Mimosa - 7m - reduce crown by 1m
