Proposal
Tree Preservation Order EL: - The tree with the protection order is a Beech Tree. I want to get this tree crowned. On my sketch plan this tree is marked with agreen coloured "X". The reason for the proposed crowning is that the tree is now growing amongst power lines, dropping beech nuts onto pedestrians below, and blocking the light out from the rooms in my house. Its also overhanging my roof allowing squirrels access to my roof and potentially into my loft. I would like to cut the branches back only a little - reducing the diameter of the tree by circa 4 metres in total. The two other trees in question that sit either just within or just outside my boundaries are both Sycamore trees. Again, i want to get these trees crowned. On my sketch plan these trees are marked with 2 blue coloured "X"s. The reason for the proposed crowning is that the tree is now growing amongst power lines, and blocking the light out from the rooms in my house. Its also overhanging my roof allowing squirrels access to my roof and potentially into my loft.I would like to cut the branches on both of these trees back only a little - reducing the diameter of each tree by circa 2 metres in total.
