Application Details
Description

T1 Lucombe Oak, we are requesting for a full crown clean on this tree, this will include removal of all dead wood thought the tree. As well as removing any epicormic growth from branches and removing all branches which may cross together in the future. T2 Deodar cedar, we are requesting works on this tree to remove broken and defective branches total of 3, also within this request will be to re balance the tree which will be done by removing opposite branches, to those that have failed this will then help to re balance the crown and stop it from being unbalanced. As well as a possible crown lift to help allow more light to the ground below the tree and allow for gardeners and contractors of County Hall, to be able to remove any bramble located around the base of the tree. This will then help with keeping it tidier and allow for nutrients to go back into the tree as a pose to any weeds around the trees base. If works are approved DCC will be consulting a Veteran tree surgeon specialist to undertake the works to the correct standard.Additional information:Crown lift preposed would be to 2.5 M all around, this will allow ground maintenance contractors to maintain overgrown vegetation under the tree effectively. Branch reduction would be to reduce one branch on the opposing side to a failed limb to allow for a more uniform crown and reduce the weight from one side of the crown, size of the branch for pruning cuts is no more than 80mm in diameter.
