Proposal
T.1 Silver birch - Reduce the overall height of the tree by approximately 2.5 metres and reduce the lateral spread by approximately 1.5 metres by means of a crown reduction, retaining the main framework of the crown. Reduce selected lateral branches to provide a minimum clearance of 1.5 metres from the dwelling. Reasons for work are close proximity to the dwelling. The proposed reduction will help ensure suitable clearance from the property and allow the tree to be managed at an appropriate size for its surroundings, whilst maintaining its health and amenity value. T.2 Silver birch - Reduce the overall height of the tree by approximately 2.5 metres and reduce the lateral spread by approximately 1.5 metres by means of a crown reduction, retaining the main framework of the crown. Reasons for work are close proximity to the dwelling and neighbouring dwelling. The proposed reduction will help ensure suitable clearance from the property and allow the tree to be managed at an appropriate size for its surroundings, whilst maintaining its health and amenity value. T.3 Box Elder - Reduce the overall height of the tree by approximately 2.5 metres and reduce the lateral spread by approximately 1.5 metres by means of a crown reduction, retaining the main framework of the crown. Reasons for work are close proximity to the dwelling and neighbouring dwelling. The proposed reduction will help ensure suitable clearance from the property and allow the tree to be managed at an appropriate size for its surroundings, whilst maintaining its health and amenity value.
