Proposal

This is a repeat application for pruning every couple of years of these large trees overhanging our drive and coming close to our building. 1. The yew tree (T1) would be cut back 1-1.5m from Old Essex House as has previously been done, leaving a crown of about 8m diameter (only up to a height of 7m). The height of the tree, approx 15m, would not be affected. The cottoneaster (T2) crown is 7-8m in diameter, and would be cut back to past pruning points, approx 2.5m reduction, on Old Essex House side, leaving a crown of 5-6m diameter. The height of c10m would be unaffected.
