The proposed works relate to the Eastern Boundary Group of 9 ? Regenerated Sycamore Stems (Acer pseudoplatanus), which have developed as multiple secondary stems from previously managed stools. The trees now form a dense boundary group and require cyclical management to maintain safe and sustainable growth within the confined location.Consent is sought to sectionally dismantle (where required), fell, and coppice the stems to approximately 1.50 metres above ground level, allowing the retained coppice stools to regenerate and produce new, vigorous replacement stems. This is considered an appropriate arboricultural management technique for this species and growth form, promoting healthier regrowth whilst retaining continued boundary screening and long-term tree cover.The proposed works are justified for the following reasons:To continue an ongoing cyclical management programme appropriate to previously regenerated sycamore stools.To reduce excessive height, weight, and leverage on elongated stems, thereby lowering the potential for future structural failure.To improve management of the boundary area and prevent further encroachment into the adjoining land.To stimulate vigorous new basal regrowth, improving the long-term condition and sustainability of the tree group.To retain the established root systems and ongoing amenity contribution of the group through regeneration, rather than complete removal.All works will be undertaken sensitively and in accordance with BS 3998:2010 ? Tree Work Recommendations, using appropriate dismantling and pruning techniques to minimise unnecessary damage and preserve the future vitality of the retained stools.
