Proposal

T3 - Hornbeam - Coppice to a height of 1ft due to phytophora located near wound at base, leaning over neighbour's garden and shed. T4 - Hornbeam - Coppice to a height of 1ft due to wound on base/decay and top has previously failed. T5 & T6 Beech - Reduce upper canopy as per the annotated photo reducing branches a maximum of 3m in length. The branches selected for removal may be less than 3m as we shall look to leave a branch flow ratio of 1:2 or 1:3 to leave the tree looking natural. The works are set to achieve a 2m reduction in height to allow more light in to the property. Trees T1 & T2 (Ash) and T7 (Cherry) are being considered under Section 211 reference P/TRC/2022/05203.
