Description

T1 - Beech - Crown lift by approximately 2 metres removing up to 30 minor secondary branches to provide clearnance while retaining a natural and balanced form.T2 - Beech - Lateral reduction of the crown by 1-2 metres to leave an approximate final spread of 6 metres with all pruning cuts made back to suitable growth points.T3 - Holm Oak - Lateral crown reduction by up to 1 metre leaving an approximate final spread of 5 metres, maintaining natural shape and tree health.Justification for proposed works.T1 - Beech - The tree has developed low-hanging branches with excessive lateral weight increasing the risk of branch failure. A minor crown lift will help reduce loading stress while improving clearance and maintaining tree health and form. The proposed works are proportional and preventative.T2 - Beech - The crown is growing in close proximity to the building with lateral spread approaching the structure. Selective lateral reduction will prevent future conflict with the property, minimise risk of damage and maintain a safe management distance while retaining the tree's natural shape.T3 - Holm Oak - This tree is also spreading toward the building and requires a light lateral reduction to prevent obstruction and potential contact with the structure. The work is preventative and intended to avoid future damage, shading and maintenance issues.All works are minimal, sympathetic and designed to retain natural form while preventing future structural or safety-related issues. The works are considered appropriate tree management rather than aesthetic alteration.
