Description

Tree Preservation Order EL:19/07 - The tree is a Liquid Amber on the border of this property adjoining Garson Road Condition: above average Vigour: good This application is very similar to application 2024/0710 and I wish to do the same crown reduction. In the last two years since that application the crown of the tree has regrown to its previous size shadowing the garden making it difficult for other plants to grow and survive. Remedial work: reduce back to previous points and dimensions in previous applications down to height of 12.5 meters and spread of 8.5 meters. We will be using the same tree surgeon who is on your approved list. Doing this work every two years has resulted in a very healthy tree of acceptable size. Data via plota.co.uk
