26/01063/TPO - Tree Preservation Order Approved

Proposal

Walnut (T1) To reduce the height and the lateral branches by 2m. Beech (T2) To reduce the height and the lateral branches by 2m. Beech (T3) To reduce the height and the lateral branches by 2m. Sycamore (T4) No work. Douglas Fir (T5) No work. Scotts Pine (T6) Removing ivy. Sycamore (T7) Fell. Scotts Pine (T8) Removing ivy. The reasons for the reducing the trees is to keep them to a reasonable size , The reason for felling the Sycamore is that its a poor tree that has no shape as such due to the Scotts Pines. Once all the ivy is removed from the Pines, I think that they will grow even better without the Sycamore. Data via plota.co.uk
