Proposal

Holly Tree (H1, in Plan, Photo_1 Provided) with two principal trunks. Removal as it is currently growing into a shed and adjacent ash and oak trees (O1, in Plan), reducing light to raised beds below. Land Bordering Station Lane (R1 in plan1, Photo _2 - Photo_4 Provided); removal of larger sycamore trees with the intention of actively managing the treeline along this rocky outcrop going forward (which is largely made up of densely packed sycamore), reducing the risk of trees/branches falling on the road beneath. In particular, the removal of damaged trunks and branches showing potential for disease, leaving remaining trees space to grow. Land Bordering Aberford Road (R2, in plan1, Photo_5-6 Provided); raising and thinning the crown of Sycamore trees to 3m above ground, removing 20% of remaining leaf area to increase light reaching outbuildings. Works to be carried out by a professional arborist.
