Description

TREE 1 – PINE/FIE TREE GROWING WITHIN THE CANOPY OF A FINE OLD CEDOR OF LEBANON. WE WISH TO FELL THIS “ROGUE” TREE WHICH WAS PLANTED EXPECTING SMALL GARDEN TREE BUT IT NOW GROWS RIGHT INSIDE THE CANOPY OF THE CEDAR, INTERFERING WITH ITS BRANCHES CAUSES THEM POTENTIAL DAMAGE AND INTERRING WITH THE OVERALL SHAPE OF THE SPECIMEN TREE. THE PINE/FIR SERVES NO PURPOSE AND DAMAGES THE CEDAR WHICH IS OF GREAT ENVIRONMENTAL VALUE. SEE PLAN. TREE 2 – HOLM OAK- SELF SEEDED. GROWING WITHIN LARGE WEDGE OF CONIFER/LAWN/HOLLY AND CLOSER TO THE HOUSE THAN INSURANCE COMPANY SPECIFIED. WE DID NOT PLANT THIS AND HAVE WITHIN PERMISSION TRIED TO CONTROL THE GROWTH AND INTERING WITH THE CONDITION OF HEDGE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WITHOUT LONG TERM SUCCESS. WE WISH TO FELL (THE TREE) SO THAT THE HEDGE (WHICH GROWS FAIRLY EVENLY ALONG THE WHOLE ROADSIDE PERIMETER OF THE GARDEN WITH A GOOD SHAPE UNTIL IT REACHES THE OAK) CAN RE ESTABLISH ITSELF WITH AESTHITIC SOLID SHAPE ALONG THE ROADSIDE. THE HEDGE IS ABOUT 10 FOOT TALL AND INCLUDES A LARGE ATTACTIVE YEW NEXT TO THE OAK WHICH WE WOULD LIKE TO CONSERVE. SEE PLAN. ANY GAP LEFT BY THE FELLING WILL BE FILLED BY THE HEDGE RE ESTABLISHING ITS SHAPE. TREE 3 – LARGE ACACIA DEADATA ON DRIVE REQUIRES ITS REGULAR (WITH PERMISSION) CROWN REDUCTION, LAST DONE 3-4 YEARS AGO (?). IT GROWS VERY FAST. BY REGUALR CROWN REDUCTION WE MAINTAIN ITS STABILITY AND A DENSITY OF GROWTH WITHIN CANOPY, OTHERWISE LACKING. IT EXCEEDS 10 METRES. SEE PLAN.
