T1 Oak, adjacent to footpath. Reduce crown by 2m. Crown lift 5 m above highway, remove deadwood. Reason; large birds appeared to be accessing a cavity within the main stem (3-4m above ground level) therefore, it's reasonable to assume the cavity is large enough to specify some work at this point. However, I suggest a competent person inspects the cavity to assess its significance on the tree. Final height: approximately 14-15m Final radial spread: No change. T2 Oak, middle of drive. Crown thin previous reduction points by 20%, removing branches up to 30 mm diameter, pruning smallest diameter first. Crown lift 5m above ground level, remove dead wood. Reason; good arboricultural practice (BS 3998:2010), reducing potential of outcompeted branches from failing in high winds and allowing better development of the more established re-growth. Final height: No change Final spread: No change T3 Oak. Prune away from structures allowing 2m clearance, remove deadwood, Crown reduce by 1.5m. Reason; T3 appears stressed with some die back of the tips and thinning crown. Most of the branches appear long and slender with most of the leaf area at branch extremities, reducing damping that can increase risk of branch failure. Final height: Approximately 16m Final radial spread: Approximately 4-5m (average).
