Church View Bourton-on-the-Hill Gloucestershire

Proposal

T1, T2 & T3 - Mature Conifers - these need to be reduced to the level of the Laurels adjacent and cut back at the front away from the road, as they are overhanging the public footpath. The weight is also currently substantial and is a concern for the supporting wall, which could collapse into the main road. T4 - Mature Maple - crown reduction required to just above roof level - this allows the tree to reshoot and retain a good canopy. The tree is very close to the house and needs to be managed to protect the house. T5 - Mature Maple - reduction required and branches hanging over road - general tidy T6 - Silver Birch - reduction required and branches hanging over road - general tidy T7, 8, 9 & 10 - group of mature conifers - level to be reduced to where cut previously - as above for T1-3, these are very overgrown and heavy in weight. They need to be cut back away from the road and the weight reduced in order to minimise the risk of the wall collapsing. T11 7 T12 - Mature Conifers - require reducing to the level they were cut previously. They are hugely overgrown and also hanging out over the footpath and road. The above is to be treated as one project and seeks to tidy up and bring back into control the trees listed above. Works expected to take about 1 week. and will require traffic control. A tree surgeon has assessed the area and provided the proposed schedule of works.
