PA26/2896 - Works to Trees Under TPO Registered

Proposal

T1, T2 and T3 (T0319) - 3x Sycamores, forming one canopy (adjacent Hampton court road) - Reduce overall canopy by 1.5-2m to appropriate growth points, following BS3998 standards. Provide 2m clearance from the house. Remove epicormic growth from the main stem, up to the crown break. Remove all major deadwood of 25mm in diameter and over. The aim of the reduction is to keep the managed at a reasonable size, before a more harsh reduction will be required, and to create a more visually appealing shape. Data via plota.co.uk
