PA26/1272 - Works to Trees Under TPO Decided

Proposal

T3. Holm Oak Rear Garden: The southern aspect of the tree has an Irregular crown structure and extends significantly over neighbouring gardens, potentially causing shading or encroachment. Reduce the southern flank of the lower crown by 1.5m to blend naturally with the existing canopy or close to the boundary line. (Previously reduced) Reduce the lateral spread by 2m from the adjacent flats to provide a 3.5m. This will help manage the tree’s form, reduce overhang, and mitigate any potential conflicts with neighbouring properties. Raise the low canopy all around to level. Remove dead branches throughout the crown area that are over 2.5cm in diameter, and inspect the crown for any adversities. The tree's current height is 19m, and its crown spread is 19m After the proposed works, the tree's height is 14m, and the crown spread is 12m (Not radial) Data via plota.co.uk
