26/1192/CAT - Works to Trees in a Conservation Area Pending Consideration

Proposal

T1 - Blue Atlas Cedar. - Lateral branches, predominantly in the lower crown, but also partially mid to upper crown: Shorten selected branches that extend significantly beyond the main foliated body of the crown, removing up to 3 metres of growth from the longer branches, but more commonly 1.5-2 metres from others. - The top growth will not be pruned; so the aim is to reduce the width to achieve a more compact/uniform appearance, but without pruning where it is not necessary. T2 - Copper Beech - Lowest South east facing lateral branch over the the neighbours garden: Shorten back by 2 metres. Data via plota.co.uk
