Proposal

T1 Atlas Cedar (Cedrus atlantica) ? Routine Maintenance Existing height 14m, existing spread 12m. Crown reduce by approximately 2m in height and all aspects, targeting overextended limbs ? particularly on the sides facing the building and car park ? while preserving a balanced, natural flowing canopy characteristic of the species. Finished height 12m, finished spread 10?11m. Justification: The Atlas Cedar has developed overextended lateral growth on the sides facing the adjacent building and car park, increasing end-weight loading on affected limbs and encroaching on usable space below. A modest, proportionate reduction is proposed to redistribute weight back towards the stem, reduce wind-sail effect on the most exposed limbs, and re-establish appropriate clearance from the building and car park area. Pruning cuts will be made back to suitable growth points to retain the species' distinctive tiered, spreading habit and natural silhouette, avoiding a flush or unbalanced appearance. This is routine cyclical maintenance consistent with the tree's establishment pruning history, carried out in accordance with BS3998:2010 (Tree Work ? Recommendations), and will not adversely affect the tree's long-term health, structural integrity, or its continued positive contribution to the visual amenity of the site. Data via plota.co.uk
