Tree Preservation Order

Description

EL:197 - T113 - A full description of the findings from aerial inspection including decay investigation and proposed works can be found in the attached document (9365 DECAY 01 - Cedar) A crown reduction is recommended to selected branches overhanging the south eastern road frontage. Works should involve the reduction of approximately 2 - 3 meters of extension growth, cutting back to suitable secondary growth points. Individual pruning cuts are not expected to exceed 250mm in diameter. A crown clean should also be undertaken to remove all deadwood greater than 25mm in diameter throughout the canopy. Additionally, the portion of the crown over sailing the road to the south eastern aspect is recommended for a tip end thinning by approximately 30%. In areas where significant accumulations of deadwood are already present, thinning is unlikely to be appropriate or required. The existing prop is recommended for replacement. See drawing ref: 9365 SK 01 for details. Data via plota.co.uk
