Trees & landscaping

Proposal

T531 - contorted willow x 10ms high - previously pollard, now requires repollarding - therefore repollard, equating to reduction of 4ms regrowth, leaving tree at approx. 6ms high, Reason - The tree overhangs the roadway and adjacent private gardens. A large dense crown which due to its location within residential area needs to be managed by cyclical repruning of regrowth to retain proportionate crown dimensions in this urban setting.
