Proposal

Application to carry out Tree Surgery Works to No. 1 Tree as shown within the South Somerset District Council Tree Preservation Order. T1 - Pine The proposed works consist of the selective removal of low-hanging branches that currently obstruct pedestrian access beneath the canopy. The branches are positioned at a height that presents a practical inconvenience and potential safety hazard to people passing underneath.No works are proposed to the upper canopy or main structure of the tree. The intention is solely to crown-lift the tree to an appropriate clearance height ? typically a minimum of 2.5 metres over footpaths and up to 5.2 metres over roads, in accordance with standard arboricultural guidance ? thereby improving pedestrian access whilst preserving the overall health, form, and amenity value of the tree.
