Tree species: Chamaecyparis lawsoniana (Lawson's Cypress) Tree numbers on sketch plan: T1 and T2 Description of proposed works: Fell and remove two mature Lawson's cypress trees (T1 and T2), each approximately 25m in height. The trees are overly dominant in the garden, causing excessive shading to both the applicant's property and neighbouring gardens. Their size and proximity also raise concerns about future root encroachment and windthrow risk. The proposed works are part of a garden redesign to improve light levels, safety, and biodiversity, with replacement planting of more appropriately sized native or ornamental trees considered as part of the long-term landscaping plan.
