Description

3x mature beech trees behind and to the north east of the creative therapies studio.///digesting.kite.skim. T1. 1x beech tree directly behind studio - Reduce in height by approximately 3-4m to appropriate pruning points. Post pruning height will be approximately 14-16m. Reduce eastern canopy edge to taper in with remaining canopy spread. This will be done by removing 2.5m from the tips of the branches.///hides.depth.soap. T2. 1x beech tree north east of the studio - Reduce in height by approximately 3-4m to appropriate pruning points. Post pruning height will be approximately 16-18m. Reduce eastern canopy spread by 2m by removing overextending lateral branches back to suitable pruning points. T3. 1x beech tree north west of T2 - Reduce in height by 2.5m to appropriate pruning points. Post pruning height will be 14m above ground level. The finishing height of the tree will fit in with the already narrow canopy spread of the tree.The reductions to the beech are being undertaken as part of the ongoing management f the tree crowns. While the risk is tolerable, we are looking to manage the trees, which have been previously reduced, in line with best practice as recommended in BS3998. The previous reduction have led to cavities at the reduction points and the resulting regrowth has established at point were the structure of the tree has been compromised. The proposed reductions will keep in line with what has been approved and will also reduce the likelihood of primary branch failure in the short to medium-term. This reduction will reduce the likelihood of large wounds being formed post failure and mange the trees in consideration of the built up urban environment within which they are situated.The reduction will not reduce the trees aesthetic value in the short-term but will promote healthy growth and a good structure through on going cyclical management.
