Proposal

T1,T2,T3 management of Leyland Cypress conifer to prevent excessive growth and shading of the three mature conifers that form a 20ft+ hedge. Reducing height to 15ft and pruning back spread to suitable live growth points. T4 management of Leyland Cypress conifer (tree is in in 46 Ewell Downs Road garden). It is proposed to undertake minor pruning works by reducing the overhanging branches of conifer extending above the planting beds containing laurels, pruning back to suitable live growth points. The purpose of the work is to lessen excessive shading of the shrubs beneath and improve light levels and rainfall to support their continued growth. Pruning will be carried out in accordance with good arboricultural practice, retaining the tree's overall form and health. The works are intended to provide a balanced relationship between the existing tree and the surrounding landscaping while preserving the screening function of the conifer. Data via plota.co.uk
