Planning Activity
- Pending26/01461/TWT1; Stone Pine - Remove the first 4 lower limbs (one dead) over heavy and descending towards the neighbouring property (north) and the garage (south). T2; Stone Pine - Remove major deadwood and reduce by 3m back to large growth position the heavy limb extending over the road and service wire. Reasons: Works are sound maintenance and for preventative hazard pruning. T3; Purple Plum - Remove. Reason: Declining ornamental tree outgrown its position and too dominant for the garden. T4; Purple Beech. Selectively remove 4 lower limbs that are encroaching towards the house and low over the garden. Reason: A potentially large tree now becoming dominant within the garden. Pruning is to reduce dominance, make the tree more compatible with its surroundings and allow more light into the garden. T5; Sycamore - Remove. Reason: Tree is becoming too dominant for the garden and causing shading to the main amenity space of the garden.
