1 School Lane Haslingfield Cambridgeshire CB23 1JL
All work will be carried out by a professional arborist. The property is bordered on two sides by Haslingfield primary school playground/ playing fields, and as such annual tree work has been undertaken.G1 - General crown reduction of no more than 0.5m to improve shape of LeylandiiG2 - Removing any top spray branches and trimming of Field Maple and Elder by 0.5mG3 - Reducing in height by 0.5m Silver Birch x 3G4 - Reducing height and trimming of Greengage / Prunus by 0.5mG5 - Removal* of Lawson cypressG6 - Removal* of Lawson cypress* G5 is 1.9m distant from my property and G6 is 4.8m distant from my property. The original part of the property is Victorian and as such is based on relatively shallow foundations, and there is some clay within the soil upon which the property sits. On this basis, a review by a professional arboriculturist (OMC Associates, Cambridge. MSc Arb) has recommended that both G5 and G6 are removed. Neither tree is particularly attractive and both have limited growth at the back where they are up against the boundary fence between my property and the school playing fields. Replacing the trees with another tree in the same place would also not be advised for similar reasons. I would intend to replace the trees with an appropriate slow growing shrub along my property's side of the shared boundary fence with the school which would be well maintained, more attractive and provide some shading to the edge of the playing fields in the summer months.
