Description

1no. Beech (T1) - Crown reduction by up to 3m from branch tips throughout the crown, maintaining natural shape and balanced form. Removal of dead, diseased, damaged and crossing branches where appropriate. 1no. Oak (T2) - Crown reduction by up to 3.5m from branch tips throughout the crown, with particular attention to reducing the lateral spread towards property while maintaining the tree’s natural shape and balanced form. Removal of dead, diseased, damaged and crossing branches where appropriate. T1 & T2 have reached maturity and now have extensive crowns, measuring approx. 18m and 16m in spread respectively. The size and density of the canopies result in significant overshadowing of the rear garden and rear elevation of the property, substantially reducing natural daylight and limiting the reasonable enjoyment and use of the garden. T2 is situated approx. 4m from the rear elevation of the property and, because of its proximity, has a greater impact on daylight reaching both the house and the immediate garden area. A slightly greater crown reduction is requested to improve light penetration while retaining its natural form, health and amenity value. The proposed works represent sympathetic management of two mature trees and are intended to maintain them as healthy, structurally sound specimens in accordance with BS3998:2010.
