PA26/2955 - Works to Trees Under TPO Recommendation under review

Proposal

T1 – Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) Existing Height: approx. 10m | Existing Spread: N 3m, E 2m, S 3m, W 3m Proposed works: Re-reduce back to previous pruning points, removing approx. 1m of regrowth from height and spread, leaving approx. 9m height, spread N 2m, E 1m, S 2m, W 2m. Justification: Sycamore previously maintained as a pollard alongside an adjacent Lime, due to its close proximity to the property and drains. Proposed works maintain the established pollard form and manage crown size to reduce the risk of further root-related disturbance to nearby drainage, consistent with previous management history at this site.
