Proposal
2/ Refers T1 Holm Oak - To reduce back western side by approximately 2m to suitable growth points. Bringing the crown spread from 9m to 7-7.5malso remove ivy from tree, this is to reduce the weight of the crown over pub and give adequate clearance. T2 Holm Oak - Remove ivy from stem to enable main joint / union to be inspected. T3 Elm - Reduce crown overhanging the pub by 2.5m and height by 2m. Bringing the crown spread from 7.5m to 4m and the height from 15m to 13m. This is to prevent the tree from being too oppressive over the pub and prevent it from getting too big for the area. T4 Holm Oak - reduce entire crown by approximately 2m, bringing the height from approximately 14m to 12m and the crown spread from 14m to 10-11m. The works are suggested in a recent tree survey as a precaution due to the presence of a ganoderma bracket at base of stem. T5 Poplar - To reduce in height by approximately 5m, bringing the height from 18m to 13m. To also reduce the sides by up to 3.5m bringing the crown spread from 13m to 6-7m creating a high pollard (similar to T6). Works are recommended as a precaution in a recent tree survey due to poplar moth damage. T7 Poplar - As a precaution to lower risk of tear outs of larger limbs, reduce crown by approximately 3m overall, reducing crown/sail weight as suggested in survey. Bringing the height from 20m to 17m and the crown spread form 16m to 10m T9 Hornbeam - To lower risk of further root plate movement reduce southern crown growth approx 3m. Bringing the crown spread from 12m to 9m. G1 (Group 1) consisting of X4 willows in court yard - Re-pollard to previous points at approximately 1.5 meters. This is to prevent them from getting too large for the area and to prevent limbs from tearing out due to tight forks and compressed limbs. G2 (Group 2) multiple Hornbeam topiary - trim to previous points to maintain topiary shape. Bringing the height from approx 3.5m to a final height of 3m and the width from 1m to 0.5m.
