Proposal
Tree Works Specification - BS 39982010 Tree Work - Recommendations Front Garden: T1 - Robinia (Robinia pseudoacacia) Carry out a crown reduction of approximately 25%, reducing lateral and terminal branches to suitable secondary growth points in order to maintain a balanced and natural crown form. Reduce limbs extending toward the property to provide a minimum clearance of 3 metres from the building, paying particular attention to branches overhanging the new flat roof. Provide an additional 3 metres clearance from the adjacent streetlight to ensure adequate light levels and prevent obstruction. T2 - Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) Undertake a crown reduction of approximately 25%, pruning back to suitable secondary growth points to maintain the natural crown profile. Reduce limbs encroaching toward the building to provide a minimum 3 metres clearance, ensuring the tree remains balanced and structurally sound. T3 - Magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora) Reduce overall height and reshape to maintain a compact, balanced canopy. Lightly prune and shorten protruding shoots to blend with the remaining crown, preserving the natural form and appearance. Rear Garden T4 - Cherry (Prunus avium) Carry out a crown reduction of approximately 25%, pruning back to suitable secondary growth points to maintain an even crown structure and encourage healthy future growth.
