WDC TPO 126 T1 Oak - Fell. Reason: large limb fell recently and damaged car resulting in tree being reduced as an emergency to agreed positions. Extremely close to the front of the property and since the recent loss of part of the crown and the reduction to make safe, the tree has far less amenity value and is not an asset to the property or the surrounding area. Now it is reduced it will grow vigorously from the new pruned positions and will hide the front of the house and take light from the windows.

Yew tree front of property: Remove Reasons; 1. tree is leaning badly to left. 2. the tree roots are damaging the drives to both properties 3. the tree roots are causing damage around the existing manhole. 4. the berries from the tree are poisonous and pose a hazard to the grand children and family pets . 5. the berries are causing damage to the family car and visibility through the window screen. 6. the berries cause damage to the drive and pose a problem of being walked into the house. 6. There is standing water in the existing manhole which indicates that the out-vet level has lifted above the invert level. it is suspected that the roots have got under the existing drains causing the problem.

4 trees with 2 sycamore and 2 Lime that are at the rear of No 11 and 13 behind a stone wall. The trees are on the land of Edward Clay Ltd and recently we have spoken to Mr Clay and Luke and they even came in to the garden to see the issue and both agreed crown thinning and crown cleaning would be necessary as in line with previous approved applications 2006 and 2015. At times especially when it is windy ourselves and the owner of No13 have a lot of twigs/LG branches that hit the house including windows and roof. Both No 11 and 13 have had to undertake excessive roof cleaning from moss that also comes from the tree size and lack of light at a cost of almost ?1300.
