   Intent to completely fell and remove one self-seeded Common Ash tree (Fraxinus excelsior)" (T1) situated at the foot of the eastern vertical quarry rock face, adjacent to the existing old Cadet Hall building. The work will involve a systematic section-dismantling of the canopy down to a flush ground-level stump, followed by an immediate targeted chemical root-stump treatment to inhibit regrowth."

   Leyland cypress T1 - Single stem. Located directly against and partially within the fabric of an old stone boundary wall on the south side of the property.Description of works: Fell the tree to as near ground level as practicable. Remove arisings from site. Stump to be left in situ initially to avoid destabilising the wall; further removal only once wall stability is assessed.Reasons for works: The tree has grown in direct contact with, and is now structurally integrated into, the boundary wall. Progressive radial expansion of the stem and buttress roots is causing displacement of masonry, loss of mortar, and localised distortion of the wall. If retained, continued growth will exacerbate structural damage and increase the likelihood of partial wall failure.The tree?s position immediately adjacent to the building restricts safe long-term management and prevents proportionate pruning options. Due to species characteristics (fast growth, large ultimate size, high sail area), cyclical pruning would not resolve the underlying structural conflict with the wall.Felling is therefore required to prevent further damage to the wall and to maintain the safety of the adjacent property and public access.

    1x Multi Stemmed Ivy-covered Torbay Palm (Cordyline australis) - Sectionally dismantle, fell, and remove to ground level using appropriate dismantling techniques to ensure the safe and controlled removal of all sections. Proffesional arboricultural justification/ StatementThe Torbay Palm is in poor overall physiological and structural condition, exhibiting a poor multi-stemmed form with limited long-term amenity value. Extensive ivy growth has become established throughout the stems and crown, increasing wind loading and contributing to the tree's overall decline.The palm has also begun to shed and lose fronds on a regular basis, indicating deterioration and increasing the likelihood of falling debris within the surrounding area. Owing to its poor form, declining condition, and ongoing loss of fronds, the tree is no longer considered suitable for long-term retention as a protected feature.The proposed removal is recommended on the grounds of sound arboricultural management, reducing the risk of further frond and branch failure whilst improving the safety, appearance, and ongoing maintenance of the site. The associated removal of fallen branches and accumulated dead ivy from the ground will further enhance the condition of the area.All works will be undertaken in accordance with BS 3998:2010 ? Tree Work ? Recommendations, using sectional dismantling techniques to ensure the safe and controlled removal of the tree whilst minimising the risk of damage to surrounding vegetation and property.

    1x Tulip Tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) Reduce the overall canopy of the tree as follows:Reduce the height of the tree by approximately 2.0 m, leaving a final overall height of approximately 10.0 m.Reduce the radial crown spread by approximately 1.50 m, leaving a final radial spread of approximately 5.50 m at all compass points.All works shall retain the tree?s main framework and natural form, maintaining a high proportion of the foliage-bearing structure.All final pruning cuts shall be made at suitable growth points in accordance with BS 3998:2010 Tree Work ? Recommendations.Crown lift all round by removing secondary and sub-lateral branch growth only, to provide a vertical clearance of approximately 2.4 metres between ground level and the lowest foliage tips, thereby achieving the desired clearance above the pavement and wall boundaries.Individual pruning wounds shall not exceed 40 mm in diameter.Tree Preservation Order/ Conservation Area Justification The proposed works are intended to provide long-term, sustainable management of this mature Tulip Tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) whilst preserving its amenity value and natural form.The specified crown reduction is moderate in scale and will reduce the overall height by approximately 2.0 metres and the radial spread by approximately 1.5 metres, maintaining a balanced crown structure and retaining a high proportion of the foliage-bearing canopy. The works will improve natural light levels to the adjacent properties and garden areas, helping to reduce excessive shading without materially affecting the tree's visual contribution to the locality.The proposed crown lift to approximately 2.4 metres above ground level will provide appropriate pedestrian clearance over the adjacent pavement and improve clearance above the wall boundaries, reducing the likelihood of conflict between the tree and its surrounding built environment.All pruning works will be undertaken in accordance with BS 3998:2010 ?

    Monterey cypress T1 and Lawson cypress T2 - crown reduction by a maximum of 2 metres. Both are in very limited space and are already damaging garden furniture. T1 was heavily reduced on one side by the utility company, as BT cables pass through the crown.Reasons:The tree?s root system has displaced and damaged the adjacent stone and brick walling, creating structural issues and minor trip hazards. The crown currently encroaches over the patio and wall, increasing debris fall and obstruction. The proposed works are intended to manage foreseeable conflict with built structures and reduce nuisance while retaining the tree?s overall form and contribution to the setting. The intervention is proportionate and consistent with BS3998 and NTSG principles, addressing specific areas of conflict without imposing excessive reduction.
