26/00378/TWA - Tree Works to TPO Tree(s) Pending Decision

Proposal

T1 and T2 sweet chestnut To crown reduce up to 3m where applicable to suitable pruning points. To maintain the cycle of works on trees that began previously. Historic tree bracing between main stems seems to be holding well with the hopes that reducing some weight will help continue the tree?s life and increase safety by decreasing the likely hood of limb failure.
