64, The Chase, SW4 0NH

Proposal

T1 & T2. Common Lime. Crown height and spread approx 10x5m. To laterally reduce both trees back to their previous reduction points, a reduction of 1-1.5m on average both laterally and in height which will leave finished crowns at approx 8-9x4m. Due to over dominance in their position, encroachment and sapping of the neighbours property to the NNW. Along with overshaded fire escape routes and loss of light to the front of the neighbouring dwellings. T3. London Plane. From NE to SE side of the crown that overhangs the tops of the buildings. Raise this part of the crown to give 3m clearance of the roof and brick work and laterally reduce the same section for 3m back to suitable future growth points. This will leave a distance of 3m from the new pruning points to the historic pollard points. To laterally reduce the remainder of the crown on all other compass points by 2-3m back to suitable future growth points. This is to reduce the overall crown size from a tree which is over dominating it's surroundings including protruding onto dwellings, windows and roof and rubbing brick work. light is now limited onto windows making dwellings dark inside. The tree is also over dominating T1&T2 and the residents have reported an instance of "summer branch drop" To reduce the tree by 4m in height back to suitable future growth points to aesthetically balance the crown after the proposed lateral reductions and reduce the risk of over exposure/sail affect if left not pruned. T3 is approx 20x13m height/spread and proposed reductions to bring the tree to approx 16x10m. T4 &T5. Weeping Ash. Both trees approx 7m high and 4m spread. To raise the crown on the SW, footpath side of the trees only to 3.5m above ground level to prevent vehicle strike. T5 has recently lost a large pendular branch to a passing vehicle. No change in height or lateral spread is to take place.
