26/01112/TN - Trees in Conservation Area Notification Awaiting decision

Proposal

There is a Sycamore tree as well as a Holly and Laurel tree that are located at the end of my garden on my property. They are all approximately 6.6metres (21ft) in height. The trees are generally in good condition; the Sycamore has a few dead branches (damage caused by squirrels I believe). I am looking to hire an arborist to prune the Sycamore, Holly, and Laurel tree by a third or less of their current height over a period of two years leaving a final height of approximately 15ft, as well as pushing back the Laurel tree as it is beginning to encroach into my garden, all this will only be done from myside of the property. The work is intended solely to tidy and manage the trees, and prevent the Sycamore tree from becoming overgrown, and simply maintaining the trees so that they are the right size and shape for the garden. No trees will be felled. Data via plota.co.uk
