Proposal
Rowan (T1) - Fell due to excessive shading shrub growth created deformed habit and low amenity value. No direct replacement proposed due to neighbouring boundary trees and in an attempt to improve light transmission into the garden from west direction. Cypress (G1) - Group of individual trees planted on rear-side boundary - Fell due to excessive shading to increase light transmission they have grown to inappropriate size for boundary location and are of low amenity value. No direct replacement proposed due to large mature tree directly adjacent in neighbouring property and in an attempt to improve light transmission into the garden from west direction. Cotinus (T2) - Fell due to excessive shading to increase light transmission restrictive placement within rear garden and is of low amenity value. No direct replacement planting proposed as it is a small garden-scale ornamental shrub/tree situated in-between much larger mature trees of higher value. Maple (T3) - Fell due to unbalanced crown to increase light transmission its restrictive proximity to large mature tree specimen (T4) and is of low amenity value. No replacement planting proposed as large tree (T4) is in close proximity and combines with mature neighbouring trees to provide an already dense canopy-cover. Lime (T4) - Crown-lift to 2.25m above ground-level due to excessive shading to increase light transmission and ability to use garden area under tree canopy.
