Proposal

T1- Silver Birch - Reduce overall height by approximately 15ft (from 45ft to 30ft) and prune lateral to achieve a balanced and natural crown form - To reduce height, minimising the risk of branch failure.

T2 - Apple Tree - Reduce overall height by approximately 1.5 metres (from 4.5m to 3m) - Prune lateral branches to improve crown structure and shape - To maintain the tree in a healthy and manageable condition, reduce limb weight, and encourage productive fruiting. Works will improve structural integrity and extend the tree?s lifespan while preserving its contribution to the conservation area. G1 - Hedgerow - Reduce height to match adjacent hedgerow on the right-hand side boundary - To maintain a consistent boundary height and improve the visual amenity of the site in keeping with the character of the conservation area. G2 - Hedgerow - Trim and tidy to maintain shape and density - Routine maintenance to promote healthy growth and ensure a neat, well-maintained appearance. G3 - Hedgerow - Trim and tidy to maintain shape and density - Routine maintenance to support plant health and preserve the visual quality of the boundary.
