Proposal

T20 - Olive tree. Reduce height of extended branch from 7m to approx 5m to create a balanced canopy. Reduce length of branch at South from 3m to 2m to allow for access to driveway and create balanced canopy. G21 - 2 x Yucca. Fell. G15 - 2 x Tree of Heaven. Reduce canopy spread from approx 9m to 6.5m, removing any branches growing towards building under 3m from ground to allow access; reduce height from 10m to approx 8m to create a balanced canopy. Assessment from an aboricultural consultant states, 'These have the potential to get very large and in time their relationship with the nearby coach house, and the boundary wall, is likely to become problematic. It would be unwise to allow them to become substantially larger in this location.' Feb 2023.
