T1 - Beech - We are seeking permission to carry out operations on this Beech tree, positioned in W1 of the original TPO (ref: 267 (2010).W1). Our intention is to push back the overhang of the specimen from the premises of Oak Tree Cottage; reducing back where it has encroached on the aforementioned property. T2 - Beech - We are seeking permission to carry out operations on this Beech tree, positioned in W1 of the original TPO (ref: 267 (2010).W1). Our intention is to push back the overhang of the specimen from the premises of Oak Tree Cottage; reducing back where it has encroached on the aforementioned property. T3 - Leylandii - We are seeking permission to carry out operations on this Leylandii, positioned in W1 of the original TPO (ref: 267 (2010).W1). For the Leylandii in question, we intend to remove this tree to ground level. It is again positioned encroaching on the boundary of Oak Tree Cottage, yet presents as a very poor specimen with low amenity. As its condition is questionable, we believe it would be better to act with the avoidance of doubt and remove the Leylandii before it deteriorates and potentially fails in future adverse conditions.
