Description

T1 Beech (Fagus sylvatica) Reduce the overall crown by approximately 2 metres to all aspects in order to alleviate excessive shading and improve light levels to the adjacent dwelling. The tree is mature and located in close proximity to the property. The tree has previously been reduced (circa 3 years ago) and currently exhibits a well-balanced crown structure. The proposed works represent a further, incremental reduction, maintaining the established crown framework while preserving the tree?s amenity value and natural form. All pruning cuts to be made to suitable growth points in accordance with BS3998:2010, ensuring good arboricultural practice and minimising the risk of stress or decline.
