Proposal

Tree identification: T1 (silver Fir) as marked on the accompanying sketch plan. 1.To reduce the overall height of the tree by a maximum of 3.5 metres, reducing the current height from approximately 14 metres down to 10.5 metres 2.The central leader will be carefully pruned back to a suitable, active side branch or healthy node to establish a new, natural leader and avoid a flattened top profile. 3.To shorten the lateral branches across the upper crown by no more than 2.5 metres, pruning strictly back to healthy, green, live outward growing buds. 4, No pruning cuts will be made back into old, bare, brown wood, ensuring the green outer canopy remains fully intact to preserve the trees health and visual amenity. 5. All works will be carried out in accordance with BS 3998:2010(Tree work- recommendations) during the trees dormant winter period to minimise sap loss and stress. Structural safety to reduce wind sail effect and mitigate the risk of branch failure near a public footpath, public side road, customers gardens and substation equipment beneath the tree. Property clearance to provide a 2 metre clearance from the adjacent residential roof-line. We have retrieved numerous complaints from the customers over the last year. To remove deadwood and congested inner branches to improve airflow through the canopy. Data via plota.co.uk
