PL/26/06779/TP - Works to trees covered by TPO Approved

Proposal

T1 Oak - Reduce the tree by 2-2.5m from branch tips to bring the tree back into scale, mitigate against limb loss and improve light ingress. This will leave a canopy spread of approximately 17-18m. Also remove trunk epicormic up to crown break. T2 Oak - reduced 3 over-extended limbs by 1.5 - 2m to mitigate the tip loading and the risk of failure either at the branch union or on the stems where the woodpecker holes are and reduce the side away from the house by 2-2.5m to balance the crown and mitigate against further branch loss onto the footpath. To leave a canopy spread of approximately 10-12m. T3 Beech- Reduce sections closest to the house to give approximately 2.5m clearance from the roof to mitigate against abrasion and squirrel ingress and egress. The actual spread of the canopy will be unaltered because the nature of the pruning. No pruning cuts to be larger than 75mm in diameter. Data via plota.co.uk
