Application to remove a Horse Chestnut due to poor condition, prune a Sycamore and a Silver Birch, and prune other trees and shrubs along the fence line for better light levels.

Full Proposal

T1 Horse Chestnut: To be removed due to poor condition from previous heavy pruning/reduction - see invalid reply T2 Sycamore: Lower south easterly side branches x 3 located around 1m above main union to be pruned back to boundary/main stem. Prune higher branches by up to 2m to suitable unions, we are wanting to remove up to 2m from the upper canopy that grows towards the house and is becoming quite close. T3 Silver Birch: To be crown reduced to previous height by removing up to 1.5m in height and up to 1m on all sides to reshape. All other trees and shrubs along fence line to be pruned back to boundary to allow for better light levels and reduce sap soiling the garden. this is a mixture of overgrown holly and self-seeded deciduous species. preference is to remove full limbs back to main stem of any young or semi mature trees, as to be in line with BS3998 and not leave any unsightly pegs that will then cause excessive and un natural regrowth.
