Proposal

T2 Black Locust (Robinia pseudoacacia).

We will fell the stem with the cavity (north-western stem). T4 Common Beech (Fagus sylvatica). The tree has a large cavity at approximately 6m on the western aspect of the main stem. We will reduce the crown by up to 2-3m. T7 Common Beech (Fagus sylvatica). The tree has a hyper extended limb originating from approximately 1.8m on the northern aspect of the main stem. We will reduce the end-weight of the hyper extended limb by up to 20% reducing density and we will install non-invasive bracing from the hyper extended limb to the main stem. T8 Silver Birch (Betula pendula). The tree is in decline. We will fell to ground level. T10 Plum (Prunus). We will reduce the crown by up to 2m. G11 Silver Birch (Betula pendula).
