Proposal
T1 – Unknown deciduous species Prune to suitable growth points to reduce the overall height to approximately 5 metres and reduce lateral spread to approximately 3 metres, while retaining a natural and balanced crown form. Tree is considered too large for its surrounding area and is situated directly adjacent to the boundary fence line. Works proposed to reduce end weight and maintain the tree at a more suitable size for its location. T2 – Sycamore Fell to ground level. Tree is considered too large for the surrounding area and is contributing to excessive shading and overcrowding. T3 – Sycamore Reduce crown back to suitable growth points, reducing the overall height to approximately 13 metres and reducing lateral branch spread by approximately 1–1.5 metres, bringing the lateral spread to approximately 2.5 - 3 metres where appropriate. Retention of T3 is recommended in preference to T2, as it is considered the better specimen of the two adjoining trees. T4 – Holly Fell to ground level. Small suppressed tree located in close proximity to adjacent trees with limited light and poor form. Removal proposed due to limited amenity value and overcrowding. Data via plota.co.uk
