Proposal
T1 - Cedar - CROWN REDUCTION 12m in height. Reduce height by 3m from 12m to 9m. Reduce laterals by 2m from 8m to 6m on all compass points. A mature Cedar in the front garden of 72 Wickham Rd. The tree has been previously reduced. Works will retain the established reduction points to maintain the existing crown shape and form, keeping the tree in proportion to its position and reducing weight on regrowth from previous cuts. T2 - Eucalyptus - crown reduce 14m in height. Reduce height by 3m from 14m to 11m. Reduce laterals by 2m from 8m to 6m on all compass points. A mature Eucalyptus in the front garden. The tree has been previously reduced and is managed on a cyclical pruning programme. Works will retain the established reduction points, maintaining the existing crown shape and form and reducing weight on regrowth from previous cuts. T3 - Birch - crown lift 10m in height. No reduction to height. Crown lift to 3m above ground level over the pavement. A Birch on the front boundary of the property. The crown currently extends low over the pavement and road, restricting clearance for pedestrians and vehicles below. Crown lifting to 3m above ground level will restore clearance over the footway while maintaining the natural shape and form of the crown. Data via plota.co.uk
