To encourage growth of shrubs and small trees below on the south side c) Reduce crown by 10 metres leaving crown 6 metres wide and 10 metres high. The present tree height is 20 metres and will be 10 metres which is the distance to the two houses of nos. 10 and 12 should it fall from the bank, being more weighted on the south side.

T4 - Silver Birch a) reduce crown by 1.5 metres to get clearance from power lines. b) prune lateral branch by 1.5 metres leaving 1.5 metres to trunk to promote new growth from the lower trunk to improve appearance and shape. The tree height remaining will be 5 metres. The remaining crown will be 2m wide. T5 - Ash a) Coppice to ground level due to Ash die-back disease. T6 - Beech a) Reduce crown by 3 metres to reduce height from 18 metres to 15 metres b) Raise crown by 2 metres to provide clearance over hazel hedgerow. Remaining crown will be 10 metres high and 8 metres wide. T7 - Hazel a) Coppice 5 of the multiple stems on the south side to stop smothering of a mature Acer. b) Reduce crown of remaining two substantial (200 mm diameter) stems by 5 metres from 7 metres leaving the height of the remaining stems alongside the footway and road to 2 metres bringing it to hedge height.
