Description

T1 Copper Beech (1 on Sketch plan) Reduce height by up to 2 metres and width by up to 3 metres to achieve a tree measuring approximately 13 metres high by 11 metres wide. The Copper Beech has actively been shedding branchlets measuring up to 2.0 metres. The requested reduction is critically required to reduce the mechanical leverage, end-weight, and wind-loading on the remaining extended outer limbs, mitigating the risk of sudden limb failure. The works will reduce stress on other trees/vegetation in the immediate vicinity Data via plota.co.uk
