TPO26/093 - Works to a tree with a TPO Pending Consideration

Proposal

T1. Large Copper Beech at front of property- it was noted that a large bough had broken off the tree on 23/05/26 and although the tree appeared to be healthy, it was noted that the bough was very large and heavy and hence the reason for falling. So recommended work is for tree branches to be cut back to points of new growth, keeping shape and tree visually aesthetic. Tree to be lifted all round, off pathway and away from street lights etc. Tree to be dead wooded, removing the smaller branches out of the tree. T2. Dying Oak tree at the front of property - to be dead wooded and cut back to point of living growth to encourage further new growth and prolong life of tree… Data via plota.co.uk
