P/26/04122/TCA - Tree work in a Conservation Area Pending

Proposal

T1 - Conifer - Fell to ground level as the tree has died. T2 - Plum - Fell to ground level - the tree is growing out over the lawn area and felling will improve the light levels within the garden. T3 - Holly - Fell to ground level - the tree has two stems. the felling of the front stem will improve the rear stem. T4 - Lawson cypress - Reduce the failing stem by 2-3 metres and then reduce the tops by 2-3 metres. the tree has a stem failing the reduction will prevent the stem from failing and the remains of the tree reduction will improve the stability of the tree and stop further stems from failing. T5- Lawson cypress - reduce the tops by 2-3 metres. following the reduction of the other conifer (T4) this will prevent the tree from failing as the other tree did. G6 - group of prunus - reshape the group of trees by 1-1.5 metres all over. this is to improve the light levels into the garden. Data via plota.co.uk
