Council planning record

My client lives in a blanket TPO area, he has a selection of trees on the front bank of his property that are next to the road and footpath. There is one large Oak and a few medium Ash and Maple trees. The roadside sides of the trees are overhanging the road low enough for lorries to clip them and on the other side they are growing towards the house and into overhead phone wires. Applying to raise the height on the roadside branches on all trees to 4m and cut back anything higher by 1.5m, 1.5m reduction away from the house side on all the trees, then a 1.5m reduction on the height on the Maples and Ash. Any deadwood to be removed at the same time. There is a large Maple tree on the right of the clump at the front being applied that isn't my clients so won't be being touched. That will be shown on the site plan marked at NT for neighbour tree, clump of maple/ash labelled T1, Oak labelled T2 and Japanese Cedar labelled T3In the back garden, there is a Japanese Cedar tree growing at 45 degree angle and is very top heavy, so applying to reduce the height on that by 2.5m to reduce the chance of future failure. All work carried out to BS3998
