Council planning record

The tree is a Copper Beech (Shown on Plans 1 & 2 in pink) It is in good health, but hasn't been pruned or maintained in over 25 years. It is now significantly overhanging the garden of 27 Hart Street and beginning to interfere with the roofline on the Grade 2* Listed White Hart. We are beginning to get complaints from our neighbours about loss of light and damage to tiles, so we'd like to take appropriate action before the tree gets any larger. We've consulted with Luke Brown, Tree Surgeon and he has recommended a crown reduction to reduce the overall mass of the tree by 1-2m, back to the last pruning line (Shown on plans 1 & 2 as red dotted line). Subject to approval, we'd like to reduce the overall tree height and branch lengths by around 2m as soon as the tree becomes dormant for the winter.
