G1: 5 x Small Bay Shrub Stems - Remove the group of small bay shrubs beside the shed, T1: Twin-stemmed Pittosporum - Fell to ground level, G2 - Remove the group of bay located south of the triple-stemmed bay, retaining the forward group for visual screening, T2: Twin-Stemmed Sycamore - Fell to ground level & T3: Magnolia - Remove the lowest primary limb on the eastern side back to its point of origin to alleviate encroachment onto the neighbouring property, reduce the canopy on the northern aspect (garden side) by approximately 1–2 metres, making reduction cuts at suitable secondary growth points to maintain a balanced and natural crown form. Justification - The proposed removal of small trees will have a low impact on the character, visual amenity, and ecological value of the area. The site is currently overgrown with dense, low-diversity vegetation, primarily composed of self-seeded or suppressed specimens that contribute little to the overall landscape quality. Their selective removal will not diminish screening or canopy cover but will instead enhance the usability of the space for the owners, allowing for better access, management, and the opportunity to improve the area through more purposeful planting and maintenance.
