Proposal
1 - Sycamore Tree We would like to prune the Sycamore tree to maintain its size and shape. We would like to lift the crown by 0.5m and reduce the crown by 0.5m. The proposed pruning is intended as routine garden and tree maintenance, helping to keep the tree in a manageable condition while retaining its overall health and appearance. 2 - Red Tipped Photinia We would like to undertake pruning of the Red Tipped Photinia to maintain its size and shape. We would like to undertake crown cleaning which would not exceed 0.5m reduction of the crown. The work is proposed as general maintenance to prevent excessive growth. 3 - Cherry Tree We would like to undertake pruning of the Cherry tree to maintain its size and shape. We would like to reduce the crown by 0.5m. The work is proposed as general maintenance to prevent excessive growth. 4 - Silver Birch Tree The Silver Birch is dead. Given its dead condition, we would like to remove the tree to eliminate the risk of it falling. 5 - Crab Apple Tree The Crab Apple tree is currently growing very close to, and is touching, the house/roof. We are concerned that its proximity to the building could be causing damage to the foundations and roof. In addition, the trunk of the tree does not appear to be in good health, and there is visible evidence which may indicate infection or disease. We therefore would like to remove the tree. 6-9 - Conifers (Leylandii) The conifers identified are dead and are currently heavily covered with Ivy. We would therefore like to remove and replant to maintain and improve the landscaping and greenery of the garden. Data via plota.co.uk
