Proposal

Ash (Tree 1)- Top the main stems of the Ash tree at a height of aproximately 4 metres from ground level, creating a standing habitat for biodiversity and wildlife value. Ash (Tree 4) - Severe crown reduction of this approximately 13m Ash tree, removing the upper canopy and reducing overall height down to approximately 5-6m above ground level, leaving a stable main trunk / habitat stem. Ash (Tree 5) - Removal of single overextended lateral limb posing a safety risk to the property and adjacent amenity land. The reduction aims to mitigate the limb failure risk. Data via plota.co.uk
