Description

2no. Oak - Reduce the lower crown of the trees overhanging the garden by up to 3m and by between 3-5m where they overhang the neighbouring gardens to abate nuisance. To manage canopy density and restore ecological balance to the domestic amenity space. Selective thinning and minor lateral reduction aim to increase ambient light filtration through the canopy. Will alleviate the heavy shade on the garden, ensuring the survival and growth of surrounding flora while fully maintaining overall structural integrity, health, and prominent public amenity value of the oak trees. 1no. Fir - Reduce all over by no more than 1-2m. Growing in close proximity between two mature oak trees, resulting in canopy crowding and mutual suppression. Developed an over-extended and unbalanced lateral spread, which is impacting the form of the adjacent oaks. Work involves a sympathetic crown lift and lateral reduction to define its form, reduce immediate structural footprint, and prevent it from encroaching further into the canopy of the higher-amenity oak trees. Will restore balance to the group dynamic and ensure the long-term vitality of all three specimens. 1no. Birch - Fell. Initial proposal for a crown reduction is no longer appropriate or viable. Tree has suffered significant structural failure, main apical leader having already snapped off. Is heavily suppressed beneath the dominant canopy of the adjacent mature oak trees, resulting in an excessive structural lean. Felling is requested on safety grounds and to optimize the growing environment for the high-value oak trees. Removing this compromised specimen will alleviate localized competition for root volume, soil nutrients, and moisture, thereby actively supporting the long-term health and vitality of the dominant oaks.
