Proposal

The proposed work is to prune over-extended lateral branches of one tree that pose a risk by overhanging a public footpath and adjacent gardens. A second tree has more extensive decay and it is proposed that its crown be removed to leave the standing stem. Details are given in the attached arborist's report by Patrick Stileman Ltd. Tree 2 - Ash. Shorten the lower member of a subsiding branch on the NW side by 2-3m back to live growth points. Remove the upper member back to the fork, approximately 1.5m from the main stem. (See report page 6) Remove dead wood with a diameter in excess of 20mm on the north side of the tree in falling distance of the footpath. Tree 3 - Ash. Remove the crown to leave the standing stem at a height of 7m, severing the secondary stem on the west side at approximately the same height. (See report page 10). As the tree is among other trees in a mature hedgerow and the tree will not be completely removed, it is not considered necessary to replant.
