HGY/2026/2456 - Consent under Tree Preservation Orders Under Consultation

Proposal

Works to trees protected by a TPO. T1) Holm oak - Perform a 20% crown thin to increase light penetration and reduce wind resistance, safeguarding the tree against future storm damage. Remove all epicormic growth and lower suckers up to the main crown break. Prune and clear lateral branches to establish safe clearance distances from both the adjacent highway and building structures. These structural mitigations are necessary because the tree exhibits basal decay, which compromises its load-bearing capacity. Reducing the canopy's "sail effect" lowers structural stress and promotes long-term health and stability T2) Holm oak - Perform a 20% crown thin to increase light penetration and reduce wind resistance, safeguarding the tree against future storm damage. Remove all epicormic growth and lower suckers up to the main crown break. Prune and clear lateral branches to establish safe clearance distances from both the adjacent highway and building structures.
