P0636/26/TPO - Works to Trees Covered by TPO Approved

Proposal

Undertake the following works to trees covered by Tree Preservation Order number DFTPO 123. Cedar T9, reduce overextended limbs in upper canopy by 3 metres to relieve weight on main stem, reduce the limb extending over Beachley Road by approximately 3 metres in order to remove overhang from the highway, reduce stubs facing towards the house back to suitable branch collars and remove hanging branches and dead wood from within the canopy. Holm Oaks T10 and T11, reduce canopies by approximately 4 metres due to decay present at the base of both trees and their close proximity to the highway, remove branches overhanging Beachley Road and shape remaining canopy to maintain a suitable natural form where appropriate. False Acacia T1, reduce canopy by approximately 4 metres due to visible canopy dieback. Data via plota.co.uk
