Works to a tree with a TPO: The removal of a sweet cherry tree that is causing adverse effects on the adjacent hedge and a nearby tree

T1. Yew Tree. 10 metres in height. Lift to 3 metres all round. Tree has overgrown low hanging branches. Situated in the rear garden.

G1 - Conifer hedge - reduce height and face up 8m in height. Reduce height by 1m from 8m to 7m. Face up the sides, trimming back to a tidy, even line. A conifer hedge on the rear boundary of the garden. The hedge has outgrown a manageable height for its position, and the proposed works return it to a size and form that can be maintained, while retaining it in full as a boundary screen. T1 - Olive - crown reduce 6m in height. Reduce height by 1m from 6m to 5m. Reduce laterals by 1m from 5m to 4m on all compass points. An olive in the rear garden. The proposed reduction lowers the size and end-weight of the crown and keeps the tree in proportion with its position in the garden, while retaining its natural form. T2 - Bay - crown reduce 7m in height. Reduce height by 1.5m from 7m to 5.5m. Reduce laterals by 1m from 4m to 3m on all compass points. An evergreen bay standing in the centre of the rear garden. The proposed reduction brings the crown back to a size appropriate to its position and keeps a balanced, well-formed shape. T3 - Plum - crown reduce 8m in height. Reduce height by 1.5m from 8m to 6.5m. Reduce laterals by 1.5m from 7m to 5.5m on all compass points. A purple-leaved plum in the rear garden, close to the house. The proposed reduction lowers the height and spread of the crown and reduces end-weight on the outer branches. T4 - Birch - fell 9m in height. Fell tree to just above ground level. A birch in the front garden, growing close to the house frontage and to the larger birch T5. Felling is proposed at the owner's request to reduce the number of trees in the restricted front garden, allowing T5 to be retained as the principal tree in the street scene. It is also in close proximity to the boundary wall and removal will prevent damage. A native pollinator will be planted as a replacement. T5 - Birch - crown reduce 10m in height. Reduce height by 2m from 10m to 8m. Reduce laterals by 1.5m from 8m to 6.5m on all compass points. A semi-matur
