Full Proposal

T1 Sycamore - This tree has grown as 2 trunks from the base and has a hollow in the trunk low down, which is causing concern to the owner of the tree. Therefore I'm asking for permission to give this tree a 5m reduction in height, to take considerable amount of weight out of the tree to lessen the chance of failure. T2 Sycamore closest to tree one and aver the class building in the pictures - Reduce 2m in height, owner is concerned about the height due to neighbouring houses. T3 Sycamore behind T-2 on pictures and on very boundary of neighbouring property - Reduce height by up to 2m to reduce risk of catching wind and snapping branches. Concerned about the close proximity to neighbouring houses. T4 Sycamore tree on the right of the picture with 2 standing together - Reduce in height by up to 2m and thin upper canopy by 10 percent. Close proximity of this tree to neighbouring property. T5 Sycamore on the left hand side of the same picture as T4 - Reduce in height by up to 2m and thin upper canopy by 10 percent. Close proximity to neighbouring property.
