TPO23/124

Description

We live on Monument Lane and have a row of old Beech Trees which are the subject of a TPO. Sadly, one of them has had Kretzschmaria and has succumbed to this. This tree needs to be taken down. There is another that requires a crown reduction, some old oaks that require some dead-wood removal and an oak that we may consider taking down too.Mr Boyes advised that we seek a quote for the work and that it will need to be staged. The ill tree can be taken down now, but the Crown reduction will need to be done when the tree is no longer in leaf.We live down a panhandle and so access is a little tricky, however, there is a possibility that the neighbour (the cronies have a field next door) will allow use of their drive if there was no planned camping on site.1. Take down Kretzschmaria Beech, no stump grinding and no chipping as this may spread the disease. We will use the wood for firewood so storage will be on site. Depending on how long this may take, it might also be possible to do the deadwood removal of the Oaks in order to make this safe.Fell the Beech to a height of approximately 2 meters all waste to stay in situ. 2. Removal of an Oak that is not part of the TPO and is not diseased. Only a consideration at this point as it obstructs the view, but we remain uncertain as to whether this is something we want to do.Fell Oak to just above ground level all logs and wood chip to stay in situ3. Crown reduction of a TPO Beech tree that has weight on a limb that is leaning towards the garage. This would need to be done at a later stage as the tree is in leaf at present.
