Works to TPO Trees

Description

Work on all the 8 lime trees designated within the G1 area designated under APAS Code 18-023. The proposed work would involve carrying out a 1.5m canopy reduction on each tree, plus a canopy tinning of 15%. I am also proposing to remove the epicormic growth at the base of each tree, remove deadwood and also crown lift to 5m. There are a number of sycamore trees growing within this area that are not listed under the designation. I am proposing to also carry out the same work on these specimens as well
