Hawthorn - remove, thin or pollard..?

Hi All - Happy New Year!

 

The pictures are of a large hawthorn that a client of mine would like tidied up, or ideally removed. It's currently covered in ivy, and some branches will reach a phone line in a year or two.

 

It's in a conservation area, and the council are unwilling to have trees felled unnecessarily i.e. for light or asthetics, and have previously rejected a request for the tree to be felled.

 

So my thought is that the ivy is removed, and it could maybe be thinned or reduced in size (removing the very long/high branches), or basically pollard the tree back to a manageable size/shape.

 

Any thoughts on this much appreciated!

Here we go again!

If the tree is in a CA you notify the council of your intention to fell the tree. They cannot refuse permision, because you are not asking for it; their only option to prevent you felling it is to serve a TPO within 6 weeks of your (s211) notification of intent to carry out tree works.

If that's the case then they've put a TPO on it.
