Hi,

 

Aim for whatever reduction you can get away with. Also lifting to let light in below canopy which will likley be more effective than any reduction.

 

If there is property damage and depending upon thr proximity of the houses sound out the TO on replacememt and a stratergy for this as at this size they are obviously mature and they will most likley have a limited safe life expectancy while retaining amenity.

 

Do a TEMPO assessment and aim for what is needed as long as tree retention is given weighted serious consideration mnay thing can be achieved.

Lifting lombardys:confused1: right up there with thinning them.

Ridiculous! If I'm be arsey, so be it.

Methinks right to light has to be proved as being enjoyed for 20 years, only applies to windows.

[MATTMOSS]

I didnt think there was a right to light full stop.

Kill the lot!

 

The right to light will not go well with most TO's. The other arguement(of roots lifting gardens/fences etc) will not be cured by any form of crown reduction. If anything, could be made worse.

 

Fel, fell, fell.

When you say 50% reduction, is that a reduction in canopy, or a nice way of saying cut them in half?

 

Have you considered how dense the regenerated crown would be?

 

A nice way of saying cutting them in half then

 

Regeneration could be an issue - a swapping of foliage

Fingers crossed a sizeable reduction can be done, a) to make it worth while and b) so the client/s won't need it doing again soon after. Removal and re-planting could be an option that I hadn't thought of and could suggest - thanks. I will do an assessment Nick - cheers for your input.

No the right to light didn't sound appealing to him . He's a pleasant guy so should be able to work something out.

 

Removal of 8 of them? Do you think he may go for that?

There is according to Mynor. Varies according to usage of rooms, it's an easement & I think the twenty yrs of use applies.
