Proposal

T1 is a twinned stemmed Eucalyptus standing approx 14m high to the East of the property. One stem overhangs neighbouring property. Applicant would like to fell tree as unsuitable species that will rapidly outgrow available space. T2 and T3 are Willows standing in the garden further back from T1. Applicant would like to pollard T2 at approx 4-5m and fell T3. This will enable more light to the specimen Oak leaved Beech adjacent. T4 is a semi-mature Ash standing to the North of the property having signs of Chalara Ash Die back infection. Applicant would like to fell tree whilst it still retains structural integrity. T5 is a columnar Cupressaceae growing on the edge of the garage to the rear of the property. Applicant would like to fell as outgrowing available space.
