Application overview
T1 Himalayan Birch - Front of building. Out of scale with situation. Reduce by 1.5m all round to bring the tree back into scale with situation. T2 Magnolia - Front of building. Out of scale with surroundings. Reduce by 1-1.5m all round bringing the tree back into scale with surroundings. T4 Himalayan Birch - At the end of the parking area. Low canopy. Raise the canopy to 3.5m. T5 Cherry - Out of scale with situation. Re-reduce back to previous, removing approximately 1-1.5m of regeneration growth. Remove ivy. T6 Walnut - Immediately adjacent to the boundary wall, some cracking is evident. The tree is beginning to reach a size where the wall is being disrupted. Reduce the tree by 3-4m from the top and approximately 1m from the side to create a structure for regeneration. T7 Walnut - Suppressed form, twin stem, canopy is close to the adjacent wall. Low limb resting on wall. Remove the low resting limb. T8 Magnolia - Out of scale with surroundings. Reduce the tree by 1m all round to bring the tree back into scale. T9 Poplar - Hollow acoustics when struck. Tree has been historically monolithed. Reduce the tree by approximately 50% to bring the overall height of the main stems down to 3.5-4m, leaving the low growth on the tree. And removing the complete top section to give the tree a chance to regenerate.

- P23/V2023/TCAT1 - Rowan tree is middle aged and is becoming out of scale with its surroundings. Whilst relatively small, it is significantly impacting on the adjacent dwellings, dramatically reducing the natural light into the properties, to the extent that the lux factor in one property is diminished way below the normal expectations of reasonable living. Lights have to be on during daylight hours. The works below are to minimize the physiological and structural impact on the tree while serving to bring tree back into scale with its surroundings and improve living conditions of the 3x properties nearby. Our recommendations are to raise canopy to 2-2.5m, prune in side growth by 750mm-1m leaving a canopy spread of approximately 3m and reducing height by 2-3m leaving a finishing height of approximately 7m. No cuts to be larger than 50mm in diameter.No obj CA works0application · Linked by the council
- P23/V2093/TCAT1 Pine. Dead stem to remove. T2 Ash. Twin-stem with deadwood in the canopy typical of the species and age. Low canopy over footway and encroaching on neighbouring property. Historically reduced. To reduce regeneration growth back to previous pruning points leaving a canopy spread of 12 -14m and a height of 11-12m to bring the tree back into scale with its surroundings. Remove sections of major deadwood larger than 50mm in diameter and prune away from adjacent property to ensure 2.5-3m clearance from roof. T3 Cherry. Alongside the rear boundary wall. Tree has attained approximately 20% of its full growth potential and has the capacity to disrupt the adjacent wall; some minor cracking has been observed. To reduce the tree by approximately 1.5m to leave a crown spread of 5m and a height of 5m keeping the tree in scale with its surroundings and reducing the potential for disruption to the wall. Remove ivy. T4 Winter Flowering Cherry. To remove reversion growth on main stem. G5 Prunus Sp. Mixed species developing up against adjacent wall and buildings. Prune away from buildings and wall to give 500mm clearance. T6 Poplar. Tree has been monolithed historically. It is in good condition with copious regeneration growth. To reduce the tree back to previous pruning points and to clear the ivy from the base.No obj CA works0application · Linked by the council

- P24/V1653/TCAA = Ash Tree. Our survey identified tree A as an ash tree which appears to be suffering from Ash Die Back so may need to be felled. It is also very near to both our property and a neighbouring property. The survey also said that There are trees near the building. Trees can cause structural damage. By removing this tree, we hope to reduce the risk of structural damage occurring. (See Picture 1) B and C = Two silver birch trees. Currently they are overgrown and are restricting light into some parts of the garden. We propose crown raising and crown reduction in order to address this issue and maintain the trees in good health. (See Picture 2) For both trees: crown raise to 6m from ground level. Crown reduction to 3m on right-hand (taller) tree. No crown reduction on left-hand tree. Crown thinning of c. 30% on left-hand (bushier) tree. D = This is a beech tree in an adjoining property (51 London Street) where the branches are significantly growing into our property. We propose the removal of 3 lower limbs of the tree, alongside some general crown reduction (if necessary) where the tree is growing into our garden. This will maintain the tree in good shape and let in more light to the garden. It appears this may have been done previously on the other side of the tree as the only limbs at the lower level are in the direction of our garden (but this would be before either current occupant moved in). (See Picture 3) There would be no reduction in the overall height of the tree as we are proposing to work on the tree where it grows into our garden (which is not its peak). The removal of the three lower limbs growing into our garden would crown raise up to 5m from the ground. It would reduce the lateral spread of the tree in the direction of our garden by 3m. E = Finally, this is a birch tree also in an adjoining property (51 London Street). We are proposing to top the tree where it currently grows over into our garden alongside some crown reduction, also where it is growing into our garden, to maintain the health of the tree and let in more light. 3m reduction (height and lateral spread) where the tree has significantly grown into our garden, which is at the top of the tree. Crown raising on our side up to 12m, in line with the guttering of the house (there is only one major branch below this height). Re trees D and E, we have discussed our plans to cut back the trees where they are growing over our property with the owner. We will also notify them before we do so and offer them any cuttings.No obj CA works0application · Linked by the council
