Proposal
T1 Magnolia: Crown reduce by 2 to 3 metres and reshape to form a more compact and balanced crown. Justification: The Magnolia has developed an extended crown with growth encroaching into the surrounding garden space. A reduction of 2 to 3 metres is proposed to contain the tree within its available growing space, maintain a balanced and aesthetically pleasing form, and reduce shading to the garden. The proposed works are moderate in nature and appropriate for the species, retaining the tree's long term health and amenity value. T2 Purple Plum: Crown reduce by 2 to 3 metres and crown thin by approximately 20% to form a more compact spherical shape. Justification: The Purple Plum has become overly dense and has outgrown its intended position within the garden. The proposed crown reduction and thinning will reduce end weight on extended limbs, improve light penetration through the canopy, and restore a more compact and proportionate form. The works will maintain the tree at a suitable size for its location whilst preserving its visual contribution to the site. T3 Malus: Crown reduce by 1 to 2 metres back to suitable previous pruning points. Justification:The Malus has produced vigorous regrowth following previous pruning works. Reducing the crown by 1 to 2 metres back to established pruning points will maintain the tree at an appropriate size for the garden, improve crown structure, and prevent further excessive encroachment into the surrounding space. The proposed works follow good arboricultural practice and will not adversely affect the health or appearance of the tree. T4 Robinia: Crown reduce by 2 to 3 metres back to suitable previous pruning points. Justification: The Robinia has exceeded its desired size and now casts increased shade over the garden area. A crown reduction of 2 to 3 metres is proposed to manage the tree's dimensions, reduce end weight on extended branches, and maintain a safe separation from nearby garden features. The works will be undertaken… Data via plota.co.uk
