Planning Application Details - 25/1495/TPO
T1 - Monterey Pine - Thin the density of the lowest primary lateral branch (which directly overhangs the front garden of the adjacent property) by 30%. This will consist of third order growth only, natural target pruning, and dead wood. Diameter cuts made will be restricted to 2 inch diameter. Reasons - Residents have been worried about this branch for many years. Re-assurance has been provided, and weight removed in the past. The proposed work is designed to reduce the 'sail effect' of the canopy, without adversely affecting the vigour and health of the limb/tree. T2 - Dying Yes tree - Reduce to approximately 6 metres high, or the bowl of the main stem. Reasons - The tree is dying, with very little living growth left. The work is essentially a pollard, and a last chance effort to invigorate the tree into producing foliage. Although pollarding does not always work, this tree will not survive, and start dropping the dead lateral branches. Reducing the size of a crown can concentrate a trees resources into producing new foliage, and so this remedial work is recommended. T3 - Holm Oak - Reduce one stem overhanging the rear gardens of Canterbury Rd by 4 metres. Cut size of approx. 27cm. The stem in question comes into contact (lower down) with the previously reduced stem overhanging the gardens. Reasons - The stem originates from a groups of stems forming the crown of the tree. The tree was coppiced earlier in its life, hence the multi stemmed re-growth. This re-growth is inherently weak, and there are significant lateral forces exerted, especially in high winds, making it likely for stems to fail at the original union. Currently the stem in question moves to a greater degree (observed in moderate winds) when compared with the rest of the crown. Therefore this work is recommended.
