Description

T1 - 1x Monterey Cypress (Cupressus macrocarpa)- Prune 1x primary branch overhanging Rawlyn Road on the southern aspect of the tree, cutting back to the main stem. Individual pruning wound shall not exceed 100 mm in diameter. Remove all dead and broken branches, including stubs from previous pruning operations, where such material exceeds 10 mm in diameter. Sever ivy at the base of the main stem to facilitate further inspection of the trees condition. Ivy shall be cut cleanly at the base of the trunk and carefully detached where practicable, avoiding unnecessary damage to the bark.The Monterey Cypress is situated adjacent to Rawlyn Road, with a primary limb extending over the public highway on the southern aspect of the canopy. Theproposed works are limited and proportionate, intended to address highway clearance and remove defective material while retaining the overall form, health, and amenity value of the tree.It is proposed to prune one primary branch overhanging Rawlyn Road, cutting back to the main stem. The works will improve clearance over the highway and reduce the potential for branch failure over a publicly accessible area. Pruning will be undertaken in line with BS 3998:2010 ? Tree Work Recommendations, ensuring that individual pruning wounds do not exceed 100 mm in diameter and that appropriate arboricultural techniques are employed to promote good wound occlusion and long- term tree health.In addition, all dead, and broken branches will be removed from throughout the canopy, including redundant stubs remaining from previous pruning operations where such material exceeds 10 mm in diameter. The removal of deadwood will reduce the likelihood of falling debris and improve the safety of the tree in relation to nearby targets.
