Description

The proposed works are a repeat of the maintenance previously approved under TPO19/213. The Oak tree is a significant feature of the garden at 10 Sheltwood Close; however, recent regrowth of epicormic shoots and extension of the lower canopy are now encroaching on the residential amenity and reducing light levels to the property. The intention is to crown lift and thin the tree to its previously approved proportions to ensure its continued health and structural integrity while managing its size within a residential setting. All works will be carried out by an approved tree surgeon and will meet the relevant standards, for example BS 3998:2010, to ensure no long-term detriment to the tree.
