Proposal
T1 - Ash - This Self set tree is causing problems with the sheds and the neighboring property. Recommend removal to ground level to be rep[laced with another native broad leaved tree in a more suitable location in the garden. T2 - Ash - This Self set tree is causing problems with the sheds and the neighboring property. Recommend removal to ground level to be rep[laced with another native broad leaved tree in a more suitable location in the garden. T3 - Ash - This tree was once bifurcated. The second stem failed resulting in the reaming stem exhibiting a lean and rot at the base. Recommend removal to ground level to be replaced with another native broad leaved tree in a more suitable location in the garden. T4 - Laylandii - This tree is in entirely the wrong place. It is causing heavy shading and complaints have been raised by both the owner and several neighbors. Recommend a 3.5m reduction in height to improve height and allow the other trees more room to thrive. T5 - Sycamore - This tree has a poor form as it has been swamped by the adjacent Laylandii. The resulting form is very leggy. I recommend a 4m reduction to encourage a tighter crown and reduce sail and shading. Amendment requested 3/11/2021 T6 - Ash - Ash is now to be felled (to be replaced with a broad leaf native Species in a more suitable location witin the garden).
