Alfriston

SDNP/26/03981/TPO: 29 Kings Ride. T1 - Birch: Fell to ground level. Specimen is spindly due to dense competition. Removal will relieve localized overcrowding and promote crown development of adjacent retained trees. T2 - Birch: Fell to ground level. The tree is almost entirely dead, with barely any life left in it, and is leaning over and rubbing against the nearby Holm Oak T3 - Ash: Fell to ground level. This tree is also thin and weak from being cramped in. Taking it out helps thin out the overcrowded area so the better trees can thrive. T4-T7 Holm Oak (x4): Fell to ground level. These four trees are poor quality and growing way too close together. Removing them opens up more light and gives the remaining healthy trees the space they need to spread out and grow properly. T8 - Ash: Fell to ground level. The tree is dying back and losing its health. It needs to come down for safety reasons before it becomes a hazard. T9 - Ash: Fell to ground level. This tree is also suffering from heavy dieback and losing its strength. It needs to be removed for safety. G1 - Mixed species tree line along the front road boundary: Crown lift all overhanging branches to achieve a clearance height of 5.2 metres above the road. To provide clear headroom for passing traffic, prevent damage to vehicles, and ensure the roadside trees comply with Highways standards for road safety. T10 - Atlas Cedar: Remove the two lowest overextended limbs and crown lift the remaining low branches over the hedge to leave a 2-foot gap above the hedge line. The lowest branches are hanging at head height, making it unsafe to walk around or mow the lawn underneath. Removing these two low branches and tidying up the ones over the hedge removes the hazard, allows safe access for routine garden maintenance, and rebalances the tree's shape.
