Great Barrington Mill Minnow Lane Little Barrington Burford Gloucestershire OX18 4UT

Proposal

Six Willows of varying age and size requiring pollarding or re-pollarding. These are numbered T1 to T6 on the plans and photographs. T1 is a mature willow that has grown close to power lines. It requires reduction to all secondary and tertiary crown growth to the principal scaffold framework, retaining the primary structural limbs at approximately 5m-6m above ground. The objective is to reduce risk to the power lines. T2 is a mature willow that is leaning heavily towards the Grade 2 listed Great Barrington Mill. It requires pollarding back to 2.5m - 3.5m above ground to remove risk to the listed building. T3 & T4 are mature willows that require re-pollarding to reduce all secondary and tertiary crown growth to the principal scaffold framework, retaining the primary structural limbs at approximately 5m-6m above ground. The objective is to promote tree longevity, protect the watercourses associated with the mill and thereby prevent flooding. T5 & T6 are semi-mature willows that require light pollarding to c3m above ground. The objective is to promote tree longevity, protect the watercourses associated with the mill and thereby prevent flooding.
