26/0532/TPO - Works to a tree with a TPO Approved

Proposal

T1 is a large mature Beech tree, it is located behind Bank Mill, next to the garden of No18 Bank Fold. The tree shed a large limb recently. Due to "Summer Branch Drop". We wish to make the shed limb safe. We also wish to reduce some of the longer lateral limbs, extending over the garden of No 18, to reduce the risk of their failure over the garden.
