NP/TCA/0426/0360 - Conservation Area Tree Work Approved

Proposal

T1 T1 is a large Fagus sylvatica at the bottom of the driveway. The tree holds a great amount of amenity value from the road and will have no work done to it. T2 T2 is also a large Fagus sylvatica that has previously had all the ivy stripped off of it. It has full canopy and will be left along. T3 The customer aims to retain as much of a boundary as possibly for this reason the acer psudoplatanus that has previously been cut to 10ft will have all epicormic growth removed as they are growing out the cambium and have grown high up and risk snap outs. By retaining the stem the aim is more epicormic growth will sprout leaving a boundary. T4 T4 is a straight stem of beech with no crown. It is covered in ivy has no signs of Ganoderma, and is good standing timber for wildlife and biodiversity. The customer would like to retain this tree if possible. T5 T5 is a Fagus sylvatica infected with Ganoderma. The tree has a heavy lean onto the neighbouring property and likely has butt rot this is a concern for both properties and as a result the plan would be to remove the tree entirely dismantling from a rope and harness and removing timber the retain the driveways aesthetic using the standing stems as habitat. The chip would be used on sight to boost the amenity value of the driveway. T6 T6 is a Fagus sylvatica stem that leans onto the customers driveway. There is no crown or epicormic growth and the tree shows signs of heave at the base. For these reasons we would plan to dismantle this tree as well. From a rope and harness and then remove the timber to retain the aesthetic of the driveway. T7 T7 has rot in the top of the tree where it has been harshly reduced previously. However due to it not having any heavy leans, heave or Ganoderma the customer would prefer to leave the tree un touched. T8 T8 is effected with Ganoderma, has dead stems. Epicormic stress growth, peeling bark, weak unions and heavy leans towards properties. The plan with this tree is to reduce it to a 4 ft pole that can decay for habitat hidden behind other vegetation. The rest of the timber would be removed and the brash turned into chip on the sight. The tree would be dismantled from a rope and harness. T9 T9 has previously had the ivy removed off it. Outside of this it is a very large mature Fagus sylvatica on the road side with good canopy spread and would be left alone. None of the trees have a TPO but are protected by the conservation area… Data via plota.co.uk
