Application overview
Larches to South of Drive. G1-G8, trees are being dead wooded as part of ongoing maintenance. Also I propose to prune back the longer branches on the trees over the driveway (North side) I have numbered G1 at the start of the drive, (East on the sketch plan) to G8 at the rear of the garage. G1 (C.S. 5m) prune back longer branches in crown to North by 1-1.5m, G2 (C.S. 9m) prune back longer branches in crown to North by 1.5-2.5m. G3 deadwood only. G4 (C.S. 7m) prune back lower branch to North only,by 2m. G5, (C.S. 9.5m) prune back main drooping leader by 4m to secondary growth. G6 deadwood only. G7 prune height by approx 2.5m to alleviate weight loading on leaning stem,(height 19.5m). G8 remove top dead section. T1 Ash at rear of property on Northern boundary, tree has grown in competition with neighbouring Beech, this has resulted in one long branch to the South East over the most commonly used part of the garden, this branch is 18m in length and is extended to such a point that I am concerned about its structural integrity. I propose to prune back this branch to 1.5m from the main stem to allow a safe amount of dieback if this occurs. The tree also has an extended branch over the property to the North, this branch is also vulnerable to breakage as it extends over 6m out of the crown profile of the tree with a significant amount of foliage making it vulnerable to wind loading. Planning permission has recently been given to extend the neighbouring property close to the crown footprint of this tree. I propose to prune this branch back to 0.5m from the stem to allow some dieback if this occurs. T2 Ash at front of property on Northern boundary, remove secondary growth emanating from union of main leaders, this section of the Ash is in very poor condition and extends over footpath, No.182 and the neighbouring property.

Planning conditions
- 8 Larches to South of Drive. (G1-G8) Remove dead wood. G1 (eastern end) (C.S. 5m) prune back longer branches in crown to North by 1-1.5m, G2 (C.S. 9m) prune back longer branches in crown to North by 1.5-2.5m. G3 deadwood only. G4 (C.S. 7m) prune back lower branch to North only,by 2m. G5, (C.S. 9.5m) prune back main drooping leader by 4m to secondary growth. G6 deadwood only. G7 prune height by approx 2.5m to alleviate weight loading on leaning stem,(height 19.5m). G8 remove top dead section. Reason:to improve form. Extended limbs over driveway. T1 Ash - Reduce extended limb to the south east by approximately 6 metres to a suitable growth point (existing length 16 metres). Reason: no obvious defects noted but to reduce the end weighting in the extended limb that protrudes beyond the natural canopy line. Reduce extended limb at 15 metres to the north by 2 to 3 metres to suitable growth points. Reason: no obvious defects noted but to reduce the end weighting in the extended limb that protrudes beyond the natural canopy line. To remove the whole limbs in both cases may have an adverse impact on the overall form, dynamics and health of the trees creating large diameter pruning wounds close to the main stem and possible seats of future decay and dysfunction. Limb reduction as an allternative retains foliage bearing branches, and lessens the potential damage to the tree whilst reducing the end weight of those specific limbs. T2 Ash at front of property on Northern boundary, remove secondary growth emanating from union of main leaders, this section of the Ash is in very poor condition and extends over footpath, No.182 and the neighbouring property.
