Proposal

Front Garden (Right Boundary) T3: Sycamore tree – Prune secondary branches by 3m back to main trunk, reduce remaining canopy by 2 - 2.5m Height of tree currently: 12m Height of tree after reduction: 10m Spread of tree currently: 8m Spread of tree after reduction: 6m Reasons for work: Shading and Visibility: The tree is blocking natural light, causing excessive shading on the footpath and pedestrian crossing, potentially increasing the risk of accidents during low-light conditions. The tree in full leaf also obstructs the busy roundabout. General tree maintenance Clearance from building Lift over road low trees Blocking street light Maintaining tree in its current setting Reduce shading to house Suppressing growth of shrubs Overhanging footpath
