PA26/1122 - Works to Tree/s in Conservation Area Approved

Proposal

REAR GARDEN T1 Mulberry End weight reduction - Removing selected branches in the upper canopy to reduce current end weight and sail area of the tree which in turn will reduce stress on weak unions. Final height = 5m and final spread = 6m. FRONT GARDEN G2 Crab Apple (Malus sylvestris) X5 30% Crown Reduction - Reducing the height and spread of the trees by approximately 1-2m to tidy and contain, ensuring all trees are of a similar height. Crown lift all trees to top of adjacent wall. X2 end trees have had roots severed on one side and are a bit unstable so reducing will help with this issue. Final height = 4m and final spread = 2m… Data via plota.co.uk
