26/01564/PTPO - Works to trees protected by TPO Pending Consideration

Proposal

T1 - Lime Re-pollard back to previous points to reduce the risk of secondary thickening related failures. T2 - Lime Remove Tree. T3 - Lime Crown lift to approximately 5m above ground level, this will be achieved by removing epicormic growth and small diameter branches. Reasons: T1: Maintenance of an existing pollard to reduce the risk of failure associated with large secondary regrowth. T2: Removal due to terminal decline, poor vitality and limited prospects for recovery. T3: Crown lifting to improve ground clearance and remove excessive epicormic growth adjacent to neighbouring residential property. Trees protected under TPO189. Data via plota.co.uk
