5 Cavendish Crescent North Nottingham Nottingham City NG7 1AY
We have a large lime tree in our garden near our house and that of our neighbour (no 7).We were previously granted permission to reduce the tree which we did in 2019. We only reduced by a 1/5th as we want to keep the tree. However, we now have lots of new small (epicormic) growth at the base which needs removing. We would also like to remove five low limbs/branches. These are relatively small and not either of the two main trunks (the tree is split at the base where there is a gap that fills with leaves etc and is liable to rot). The above will ensure the lower tree is in a better condition and we are able to maintain the gap between the two trunks. The removal of the lowest branches will also allow a lot more light in. The tree has really expanded laterally since being reduced - as expected!Overall we do not feel it is a big job and will leave the tree arguably better balanced than it is now. In addition, and at the same time, we want to prune back overhanging limbs and foliage from the road to the rear of the house by 2-4 metres. These are hanging over the road more and more. We have previously light pruned lower foliage at request of the Park Estate as the leaves/branches were head height for pedestrians. We love our trees and bought the house 7 years ago for them and the garden. The above work will add and not take away from the tree/garden.BWNick and Lorena
