Crown reduce the following trees to 12m. Beech (T1). Crown reduce to 12m. The beech is was measured from ground level and found to be approx 12m, this will require a marginal reduction if any. Plane (T2 - T7). Crown reduce to 12m. These trees were measured from ground level and found to be approx 18 tall. To retain the amenity value of these trees, a crown reduction is our preferred option rather than felling. Scots Pine (T8). Crown reduce to 12m. This tree was measured from ground level and found to be approx 17 tall. To retain the amenity value of the tree, a crown reduction is our preferred option rather than felling. Tree of Heaven (T9). Crown reduce to 12m. This tree was measured from ground level and found to be approx 18 tall. To retain the amenity value of the tree, a crown reduction is our preferred option rather than felling. Walnut (10). Crown reduce to 12m. This tree was measured from ground level and found to be approx 14 tall. The surrounding trees (non-protected) within the curtilage of the Boundary House Inn will also be reduced to the same height. My Client MBNL, a joint venture between EE and Three, are responsible for providing the infrastructure for the new Emergency Services Network and will be utilising their existing sites in order to build this Network. Details of their commitment to this project can be found at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-emergency-services-mobile-communications-programme/emergency-services-network#ee-coverage. MBNL technicians have identified that these trees are causing an obstruction to their equipment and thereby affecting the coverage within the local area. The proposed reduction to these trees will restore full coverage to the network and ensure an efficient switch over from the current supplier of the Emergency Services Network (Airwave) to EE.
