26/02826/TCONR - Works to trees in conservation areas Awaiting decision

Proposal

1. Willow in the front garden. This tree stands at approximately 13m tall and has a radial spread of approximately 6m. In order to maintain the size of this tree I recommend the following work: Reduce the height by approximately 5m, and the radius by up to 3m where necessary, leaving a soft natural shape where possible; and Remove any major dead wood. 2. Purple Norway Maple on the side boundary. This tree stands at approximately 14 m tall and has a radial spread of approximately 7m. In order to maintain the size of this tree I recommend the following work: Reduce by approximately 3 - 4 m in height and approximately 2 m off the radius, leaving a soft natural shape where possible; and, Remove major dead wood.
