BH2026/02216 - Treeworks on Preserved Trees (Lopping) Registered

Proposal

T1 Lime: Proposed work: Crown reduce by 2-3m to suitable growth points, to give clearance from the adjacent building. Balance the crown to keep a natural shape. Reason for work: General maintenance. The crown is growing close to the building, and reducing it will prevent contact damage. The tree is in a busy area, so it needs to be kept at a manageable size while keeping it looking tidy and attractive. T2 Beech: Proposed work: Crown reduce by 2-3m to suitable growth points, to give clearance from the overhead cables. Balance the crown to keep a natural shape. Reason for work: General maintenance. The crown is growing into or close to the overhead cables, and reducing it will lower the risk of damage and disruption. The tree is in a busy area, so it needs to be kept at a manageable size while keeping it looking tidy and attractive. Data via plota.co.uk
