Proposal

TPO/2006/072 T2, T3 & T4 (Oaks) - Reduce, cut back and crown lift all branches overhanging the boundary fence to provide 2m clearance. W1 Oak, Field Maple, Willows - Reduce, cut back and crown lift all branches overhanging the boundary fence to provide 2m clearance. TPO/2008/110 G5 Oaks - Reduce, cut back and crown lift all branches overhanging the boundary fence to provide 2m clearance. T5 Oak (on plan) within G5 Oaks is to be felled. This tree is very close to the boundary fence. G6 Ash, Blackthorn and Oak - Reduce, cut back and crown lift all branches overhanging the boundary fence to provide 2m clearance. Reason for all: The property is a secure mental health unit. Recently the secure perimeter fence has been compromised where overhanging tree branches and larger trees located in close proximity to the perimeter fence have been used to facilitate the security breach. This has been highlighted as a safeguarding issue.
