Tree Preservation Order EL:89/11 - Action Remove crown reduce in height by 4m leaving no shorter than 14m tall; remove dead apical dieback; BHOEC - Tree Works Required - X351 - Beech - The Heath House - Queens Drive Crown reduction is defined as the reduction of the outline dimension of the canopy, from the tips of limbs and branches toward the main trunk, by pruning growth to an appropriately sized lateral branch, twig or bud to leave a flowing silhouette. Reduction may be of the entire crown, or of one part of the crown. The extent of reduction is given in metres. Where a limb, branch or leader is to be shortened it shall be cut back cleanly to a vigorous side branch leaving the branch bark ridge and branch collar intact. Retained side branches intended to form the new dominant shoot shall be at least 30% of the diameter of the parent branch at the pruning point. The contractor shall relate the position of any individual final pruning cut to the form of the canopy as a whole, so that upon completion of the work the tree has as natural an appearance (for the species) as constraints allow. The dead tree also need to cut down.
