Proposal
A1 Copper beech tree (photos 1-4) Request for removal as soon as possible as the tree has died. The tree has signs of fungal infection affecting roots and disease to bark. This is a very large tree which is on the driveway to 161B, only access to property is to pass under the tree. It also overhangs neighbours property at The Orchard 160 Hacton Lane. The roots are located under concrete/gravel driveway. Any fall of the tree or branches from it could cause significant damage to people or property. Any required replacement tree would be potentially located as shown on the plan attached in an established bed rather than into the driveway. A2 Oak (photos 5-7) Removal of damaged limb which overhangs neighbours garage (photos attached nos 5-7). Lift crown to clear buildings by 1m. Reduce crown to maintain lateral crown spread to a size appropriate for the position of the tree and reduce encroachment onto property. A5 Sycamore (photos 8-9) Bifurcation of trunk of this tree has produced one limb that is now creaking badly. This limb overhangs a road way and neighbours property at 4 Hacton House. Removal of limb required to prevent damage to persons and property. A3/A4 Conifer, A6 Horse Chestnut, A7-A12 Sycamores (photo 10) Cut back branches to reduce encroachment onto and potential damage to property. Reduce crown to maintain spread to a size appropriate to the position of the trees and reduce further encroachment onto property. Row/group of small beech trees (shown on plan and photo 11). Crown reduction required and trimming to correct the severe imbalance caused by trimming on road side only carried out by neighbours under previous planning permission . Also removal of a number of dead branches. Data via plota.co.uk
