Council planning record

T1 & T2 – Field Maples (Front of Property) Reduce the crowns by approximately 3m in height and 1.5m radially to provide balanced crowns and reduce overhang above the public footpath. Remove all ivy from the stems. Remove the failed stem and leave the trees in a safe condition. T3 – Pine (Rear Garden) Crown thin the upper half of the canopy to reduce the dense reaction growth resulting from previous pruning works, matching the density of the lower crown. Undertake minor formative pruning to improve the overall shape. T4 – Cherry (Dead) (Rear Garden) Monolith the dead Cherry to approximately 3m above ground level, retaining the ivy on the remaining stem where practicable. The tree overhangs the neighbouring property. T5 – Holly (Rear Garden) Reduce the crown by approximately 2m all round, leaving a balanced and natural-looking crown. T6 – Cherry (Dead) (Rear Garden) Prune back the ivy covering the dead stem to reduce weight and minimise the risk of stem failure.
