Proposal
T1 - Beech - reduce the lateral crown growth extending over the neighbouring property by approximately 1.5–2 metres, pruning back to suitable secondary growth points while maintaining the natural form, balance and overall crown density of the tree. No crown thinning is proposed and no unnecessary removal of internal secondary growth will be undertaken. The works are intended to avoid the concerns previously raised by the Local Planning Authority regarding over-thinning. Data via plota.co.uk
