Plan to remove the eastern stem of a sycamore tree (T1) to prevent union failure, remove a horse chestnut tree (T2) due to cankering and dieback, and reduce the crown of a sycamore tree (T3) for building clearance.
Proposal as recorded
T1 Sycamore - Remove subordinate eastern stem to the base to prevent failure of union (LCC Officer note: Removal of T1 to ground level has consent. Implied consent for lesser works, including original proposal) T2 Horse Chestnut - Remove tree to ground level. Visible cankering around base and throughout canopy, has caused significant dieback in the crown. Stem has partially failed at weakest point around 1.5 metres from base and remaining crown is now supported by neighbouring sycamore tree. T3 Sycamore - Crown should be reduced to the east and the west by approx. 3 metres to give a 2 metre clearance from the buildings. Pruning cuts should be made to appropriate growth points, leaving no wound greater than 50 mm in diameter. Upper canopy is encroaching on neighbouring properties
