Approved on 13 October 2026

Council decision: No Objection

Approximate location: the centre of the postcode, not the exact property.

Proposal

T1 – Beech tree - reduce crown by 1.5m, maintaining a balanced crown and suitable branch structure T2 – Sycamore tree - remove all crossing/rubbing and squirrel-damaged branches throughout the crown and reduce the overall crown by 3m, retaining a balanced, natural shape and suitable branch structure T3 – Sycamore tree - reduce the tree by 7m to an overall height of 11.5m - this will significantly reduce end weight and leverage acting on the compressed unions, helping mitigate potential failure while retaining a balanced and suitable crown structure G1 – 2 x Yew trees - reduce both crowns by 2m, leaving them at a manageable height and size suitable for future hedge maintenance
