Application to reduce the crown of Oak 1 by one-third and remove dead branches for safety. Remove dead branches from Oak 2 for safety. Reduce the crown of Hawthorn 1 by one-third and cut back significant overgrowth to the trunk to prevent overhang blocking sunlight and water. Cut back general overgrowth to the land boundary.
Proposal as recorded
Oak 1 - Oak Tree - Crown reduction (by 1/3) and removal of dead branches. This is to ensure the safety from falling branches to both person and property. Oak 2 - Oak Tree - Removal of dead branches. This is to ensure the safety from falling branches to both person and property. Hawthorn 1 - Hawthorn tree - Crown reduction (by 1/3) and cutting significant overgrowth back to the trunk. This tree has previously had maintenance work done (suspected whole crown reduction to 12m above ground level). This has now grown into hawthorn branches and ivy. This has caused a significant overhang onto our land and adjacent land. This overhang is blocking sunlight and water to the grass and bushes in its vicinity, causing these to die or become diseased. Overgrowth - Application to cut back to the general overgrowth in line with land boundary. HAR/CA26, TPO 45W.
