Four Yew trees at the rear of the property along the western boundary adjacent to a private lane, as indicated in the attached report. As per recommendations made by the arboriculturist in his report, prune low branches of T1, T2 and T3, by removal of lower growth up to a height of approximately 3m from ground level (ground level being taken as top of the bank where trees are rooted). This will target both tertiary and secondary branches. The fourth tree (T4) in the group is to have lower branches retained from approximately 50cm to 1.5m from ground level (ground level being taken as top of the bank where trees are rooted). These branches are forming a small natural boundary hedge that shields neighbouring property’s private road. Prune branches above the height of the lower retained section to create a window of daylight by pruning secondary and tertiary branches to a height of approximately 3m from ground level (ground level- taken from root zone area). This will remove x1 low branch growing over shed back to source. The branch above this will be pruned to a height of approximately 3m from ground level by removal of secondary branches. Remove deadwood from within crowns. Due to the density of this, it is thought that a greater ingress of dappled light will filter through the crown when removed. Selectively prune lateral branches from trees T3 and T4 over garden side by removal of up to 1m of lateral growth, blending in remaining upper growth to form flowing crown form as viewed from garden. Prune apical branches of T4 by up to 1m to form an opening between lower branches of adjacent Beech tree to allow light ingress between the two layers of crown and lower branch scaffolds.
