Proposal

T1 Blue - x1 Mature Holm Oak - Crown lift secondary & sub lateral branch growth only, to provide a clearance of approximately x5.0 metres between ground level and foliage tips, to achieve the desired vertical clearance above the boundary fence & adjacent garden area. Remaining pruning cuts shall not exceed 40 mm in diameter. Remove all cut material from site & return to a Devon Tree Services depot for recycling, leaving the area safe, clean & tidy. G1- Holm Oak, Laurel, Ivy- Rear Garden Areas of 5, Valley View Close - Laurel, Holm Oak & Ivy Growth - Cut back all overhanging branch growth hard to the boundary line. The trees all overhang heavily into the adjacent garden areas of 5, 7 & 9 Valley View Close. The proposed works are to reduce excessive shading into all properties & garden areas. The younger smaller holm oak stems are touching & damaging the boundary fence, removal is to stop further damage occurring. The proposed works will not impact on the overall amenity value of the area.
