Description

Tree Preservation Order EL:89/35 - T1- Scots Pine Carry out a crown reduction to the Scots pine, which has developed an asymmetrical form extending towards the property. Branch lengths will be reduced by approximately 1.5 metres to alleviate end loading, reduce the risk of limb failure, and improve clearance from the building. Selected downward growing branches will be removed to achieve a crown lift, eliminating heavily weighted limbs and raising the canopy to an appropriate height. All works will be undertaken in accordance with good arboricultural practice, ensuring the retention of the tree???s natural shape, structural integrity, and long term health. T2 - Holly Reduce the overall canopy of the holly by approximately 2???2.5 metres. The reduction will be carried out evenly on all aspects, including the side adjoining the neighbouring property, to form a more compact, balanced, and visually appropriate crown.
