Proposal

Front garden:- Maple tree adjacent to the front door ¿ to reduce the crown by 25% and thin by 15% Maple tree adjacent to the drive ¿ to reduce the crown by 25% and thin by 15% Amelanchier adjacent to the drive ¿ to reduce the crown by 30%, reducing larger branches to within the canopy in an attempt to reduce the size whilst maintaining a natural look Rear garden:- Apple tree ¿ to reduce the crown by 35%, cutting back to approx. where done before. Row of three Crab Apple trees ¿ to lightly reduce the crowns by approximately 15%, shaping to provide screening and make them more uniform. Horsechestnut tree ¿ to fell - the tree is pushing the wall out towards the public footpath which could pose a risk to the public. The wall already has a bridging lintel over the top of the roots but the tree has still caused damage which is likely to get worse. The owner would like to remove the tree and replace with something more suitable for the confined space. Please see attached photos of the tree and the damage to the wall.
