26/02054/CAT - Works to Trees in a Conservation Area Pending

Proposal

Tree 447 - Robinia: Reduce the crown by 2.5 m to suitable secondary growth points to reduce end weight and manage the suppressed lean over the public highway, while retaining the tree's natural form. Tree 448 - Holm Oak Group: Crown lift to provide a minimum clearance of 3 m above the footpath and 6 m above Tree View Road by removing or shortening selected lower lateral branches Tree 451 - Robinia: Carefully fell the tree to as close to ground level as practicable due to significant basal decay and poor internal condition. Treat the resulting stump(s) with approved eco plugs to prevent regrowth. Tree 453 - Mixed Species Group (Holly, Holm Oak and Turkey Oak): Crown lift to provide a minimum clearance of 3 m above the footpath by removing or shortening selected lower branches, whilst retaining the natural form of the group. Tree 454 - Sycamore Group: Reduce the crown by 3m to suitable secondary growth points, remove all hanging and failed branches, remove deadwood measuring 25 mm diameter and greater, crown lift to provide 3 m clearance above the footpath and 6 m above Tree View Road, and remove basal and epicormic growth.
