26/1099/TTCA - Works to CA trees Awaiting decision

Proposal

T14 SYCAMORE x 13ms tall - lift lower secondary branches to provide clearance to garage roof of 1.5ms T27 ROBINIA x 18ms tall - multi stem with weak compression forks throughout crown. Tree in proximity to neighbouring property - reduce height by 2ms to leave at 16ms tall and reduce lateral branches all round by 2ms to rebalance and alleviate overall weight on weak compression forks due to proximity to adjacent property and college grounds. T38 SYCAMORE x 18ms tall - prune back secondary tip end branches to clear adjacent building by 1.5ms Data via plota.co.uk
