Proposal
Notification of works to trees in a Conservation Area - Horse chestnut tree, to reduce just above previous pollard points, retaining as much shape as possible. Given it has been a long time since the tree has been cut back the level of shaping required varies on different sections of the tree. It has been suggested a c. 30% canopy reduction would be sufficient to provide clearance for power lines that branches are now encroaching on and retain the tree shape.
