Proposal

Garden opposite the property. T3 ( ash) - Remove epicormic growth from the main stem and principal branch framework. Crown-clean the tree, removing dead, dying and broken branches throughout the crown. Crown-lift the rear, Metro-facing side by selectively removing or reducing lower branches to lessen the existing overhang towards the Nexus boundary. The remainder of the crown will thinned by 10% and retained. T44 Sycamore - Crown-thin by approximately 15%, removing selected secondary and tertiary branches evenly throughout the crown. The tree overall height, spread, natural form and balanced appearance will be retained. The light crown thin is proposed to reduce canopy density and improve the penetration of dappled sunlight into the yard while retaining the tree overall size and amenity value. G1 Group of three hawthorns Crown-clean all three trees, removing dead, dying and broken branches throughout their crowns. The overall height, spread and natural form of the trees will be retained.
