T1, Norway Maple : Dismantle to near ground level T2, Cornelian Cherry : Crown reduce by up to 1m, maximum diameter of cuts (MDC) 20mmT3, Ash : Remove lowest south easterly branch overhanging garage and neighbouring property "Beechcroft", MDC 125mm. Prune adjacent limb to the south by 1.5m, MDC 25mmReason for works: T1 is not a suitable species for its location, has been pruned multiple times and is considered too big and ungainly for future management. T2 is to contain and to favour the younger Dawyck Beech adjacent. T3 is significantly overhanging the garage and property "Beechcroft", removal of its lowest south easterly limb and to prune the adjacent limb to reduce exposure after limb removal is considered appropriate management of the mature tree and would have little significance for the tree or its amenity value. | Date Decided: 04/08/2022
T1, Oak : Reduce aspect of crown of Oak growing to NW by approximately 1.5 metres making no cuts in excess of approximately 35mm in diameter.Reason for works: Tree dominates the entirety of the rear garden and therefore blocks out a huge amount of light. Proposed pruning works coupled with removing two small trees from the neighbours garden would yield a greater improvement in the amount of light in the garden whilst being considerably lesser works than have previously been approved. | Date Decided: 04/08/2022

T1, Oak : Crown reduce via thinning by up to 1.5m, maximum diameter of cut (MDC) 50mm; reduce lowest limb on southern stem by 1m, MDC 50mm; existing height of 16ml; existing crown spread ??? N-S 11m, E-W 12m; all measurements are estimatedReason for Works: Twin stemmed tree, bifurcating at ground level, evidence of 'bulging' typical of compression fork formation. Metal probe inserted into join of union to 220mm. Resonance on south western side of north eastern stem when sounded with nylon hammer suggests internal decay present.

T1. Ash. This tree is infected with Ganoderma applanatum and Inonotus hispidus, these bracket fungi are evidence along with the lack of foliage in the canopy that the tree's base is decaying, the tree has previously shed a large codominant leader, so we are applying to have the tree dismantled and removed, due to it's proximity to high traffic and foot fall.T2 Horse chestnut. This multi stemmed tree we seek to prune back the branches by up to 1.5m, off, of the neighbouring South side boundary roof, with maximum pruning cuts of no more than 75mm.T3 Lime. Remove deadwood on property side, along with pruning back the branches by up to 1.5m, off of the neighbouring South side boundary roof, with maximum pruning cuts of no more than 75mm.T4 Strawberry/Red horse Chestnut tree. This tree has significant decay at the base on the SW side, after using a nylon hammer I was able to conclude that the decay is more extensive than is visually evident and as such, I would like to thin the crown by up to 15% with pruning cuts of up to no more than 75mm, to lessen the sail effect and chances of future failure. | Date Decided: 01/08/2022
