26/00788/TW - Tree Works to TPO Registered

Proposal

T1; Oak (Quercus robur) (located on driveway) - Crown clean by removing all deadwood, epicormic growth and crossing branches, promoting a healthy canopy. The remaining tree is to be pruned away from all overhead BT lines that are running through the canopy. Reason: Promote healthy canopy and clear BT lines. T2; Oak (Quercus robur) - Remove to ground level due. Reason: Poor growth structure. Removing this will promote growth in surrounding, more established oaks by giving them more space and access to light. T3; Multi stem Silver Birch (Betula pendula) - Dismantle to ground level. Reason: Growing into nearby oaks causing them to compete for light and space, preventing them from maturing. T4; Large Oak (Quercus robur) - Lowest third crown raised to create a canopy and trunk. The remaining canopy reduced by 20% from branch tips to create a balanced tree shape and remove the movement in the wind. A further 10% reduced by thinning of dead wood, epicormic growth, and crossing branches. Reason: To allow light & wind to pass through the canopy and improving tree health. Data via plota.co.uk
