Description

T01 - London Plane - Crown lift northeast aspect to provide a 7-8m ground clearance over the carriageway/junction. This is to involve the removal of secondary branching only and must not impact primary / scaffold limbs. T02-T06 - Common Lime / London Plane Crown lift north to northwest aspect to provide a 6m ground clearance over the carriage way and 5m over the pedestrian foot path. This may involve the removal of some primary branches It's considered that a typical clearance of the highway is 5.5m and 4.2 for footpaths; however, to 'future-proof' the pruning, it is desirable to obtain a higher clearance so as to avoid repeat applications and reduce rapid regrowth through more suitable target pruning points.
