Tree Preservation Order EL:309 - T2 and T1 Conifers and Oak Reduction and Clearance from Garage Roof Works: Reduce lateral growth from the Conifers and Oak by two to three metres, targeting only secondary branches. Finished clearance above the garage roof to be a minimum of two metres vertical clearance and one metre horizontal clearance from the structure. Finished lateral spread to be approximately three metres from the boundary wall (visually judged against existing crown width). All cuts made back to appropriate growth points to maintain a balanced, natural outline. Justification Works required to prevent contact with the garage roof, reduce debris accumulation, and maintain adequate clearance for property protection. T3 Oak (Driveway Overhang) ??? Crown Reduction, Crown Lift to 5.5m Works: Reduce lateral branches extending over the driveway by two to three metres, leaving a finished lateral spread of approximately six to seven metres from stem (depending on existing canopy).

Retain the overall height of the Oak Justification Necessary to maintain safe vehicular access, improve sight lines, provide statutory clearance over driveways, and prevent damage from heavy goods vehicles. G1 Trees Along Left Side of Driveway ??? Crown Lift and Two to Three Metre Reduction Works: Lift crowns to five point five metres and cut back laterals by two to three metres Crown lift group of trees along the left driveway boundary to five point five metres above ground level. Reduce lateral branches encroaching inward by two to three metres, leaving a finished crown width of 5-6m. Pruning on the driveway side only. Height to remain the same Finished lateral clearance from driveway to be minimum two metres horizontally.
