1. T983: Beech - Reduce in height by up to 3 metres retaining a height of c18 metres, reduce lateral growth to the northeast and southeast by up to 3 metres , reduce remaining lateral growth by approximately 2 metres leaving final radial spreads of c7 metres. The regrowth within the respective crown is predominantly vertical and very long and slender. There is considered to be an abnormal risk posed of failure due to the effects of transverse loading and weaker union attachment between the primary limb and regrowth. To normalise the risk it is recommended that the reduction of the respective crown heights and selective spreadsis necessary. The principle being, that by reducing the height, spread, branch etc, it reduces the loading and normalises the risk due to previous topping at c10 metres.
