The branches are dying and the bark is blistering. It is next to a public right of way, so for health and safety reasons, needs to be felled. The applicant will replace this tree with another tree. - 3 ash trees which were planted by the owner approximately 30 years grow in the laurel hedge and are pollarded. They require seasonal growth to be cut back keeping the shape of the tree by no more than 1m to allow light into the applicant’s garden and prevent overhanging branches into the neighbouring garden. All trees will still remain standing substantially. The applicant has planted many trees in the garden and retained all existing. Those listed above are just a few of a large quantity of trees and hedges already existing.
