Proposal

T1 - Silver Birch: This tree is deceased and requires removal. We are requesting permission to fell the tree to ground level for safety and management purposes. T2 - Sycamore: This tree is growing within the retaining wall, and its root system is beginning to cause structural damage. The tree is approximately 20ft tall and is heavily covered in ivy. We are requesting permission to fell the tree to ground level and treat the stump with eco plugs to prevent regrowth. G3 - Two Norway Maples: We are seeking permission to prune the lower branches of these trees that are overhanging the garages, aiming to achieve approximately 2m of clearance from the garage roofs. This will facilitate essential repair works to the garage structures. G4 - Two Norway Maples: We are requesting permission to reduce the crown of these trees by approximately 2m, pruning back to suitable growth points while maintaining the trees' natural form. Additionally, we wish to trim the branches that are overhanging neighbouring properties, cutting them back to the property boundary.
