Proposal

Proposed Works: 1)Fell and dismantle to near ground level 1x Pyracantha located in the front garden. Reasons for Work: • Structural Proximity: The tree is growing in extremely close proximity to the main bay window, external brickwork, and foundations of the property. • Risk of Property Damage: The substantial woody trunks are directly pressing against the building's facade and window frame, presenting a continuous risk of physical structural damage and moisture retention against the wall. • Nuisance and Access: The thorny growth is obstructing the window area and external maintenance access. The root system is constrained tightly between the boundary wall and the house foundations, risking future structural displacement. 2)Complete removal (felling) to ground level of one (1) English Yew tree (Taxus baccata) located in the front garden. Detailed Justification: The subject English Yew tree is a self-seeded or tightly encroaching specimen currently growing directly in the middle of, and completely tangled within, the canopy of a mature, high-amenity Magnolia tree. The dense evergreen foliage of the Yew is severely crowding out the Magnolia, blocking critical light transmission, causing significant dieback on the interior limbs of the Magnolia, and actively stunting its growth habit. Complete felling of this competing Yew is requested to safeguard the structural health, long-term survival, and local amenity value of the primary Magnolia tree. Data via plota.co.uk
