Description

Application to carry out works to trees protected by Tree Preservation Order 3/91: Remove 05K4 (Sooty Bark diseased) 05XQ (Dead standing tree) 08BW (Sooty Bark diseased) 08BV (Sooty Bark diseased) Reason: Four trees in total to remove due to diseased or dead. This will reduce the potential for whole tree failure on to targets. Remove epicormic growth around the base of the tree on 05FU, 05K3 and 05XR. Reason: To allow better inspection of the base of the trees. Cut back small saplings to ground level along the boundary of the southern side of the woodland (approx 1.5m in width). Affects group 08BU. Reason: To cut back and clear from neighbouring properties. Reduce the canopy of 05JX and 05J3 by 2 meters over the whole canopy. Reason: Canopies overhanging neighbouring properties. These management recommendations are to help maintain the tree within its setting. Data via plota.co.uk
