Proposal

T1 Japanese privet - the canopy has grown so much so that it is no longer providing the desired screening. Furthermore the roots were implicated in causing damage to a boundary wall on the North side of the garden (which needed rebuilding) and is clearly causing the rear boundary wall on the Eastern side to lean. The owners wish to keep the tree but reduce the canopy in height by 4m from 8m to 4m (back to just above the start of the tertiary stems) and the radial spread by 2m from 4m to 2m. T2 Apple - fell to ground level. It is growing in the middle of the lawn and leaning significantly, with considerable decay in the main stem. T3 Bay - fell to ground level and eco-plug stump to prevent regrowth. This self-seeded tree is growing right behind a shed and very close to the boundary wall with Morden Road and the boundary wall with no.27. The foundations of the shed are being lifted by the root plate and it is recommended to remove before more damage is done to the wall and shed.
