South Sands House Beach Road St Margarets Bay Dover Kent CT15 6DZ
Proposal
Work to trees in a conservation area T1- (Sycamore) remove major deadwood, reduce overhanging crown by up to 2 metres to help stability. The aim will be to keep pruning looking as natural as possible. T2- (Norway maple) Fell to ground level, grind out stump. Extensive decay in lower stem, prognosis not good. If merely reduced, tree will look unnatural and require repeated pruning to stop it failing. T3- (Poplar) A few over-extended branches growing towards neighbour. I advise using an aerial platform sited on neighbour?s property, (subject to their approval), and sensitively reducing the length of several branches to reduce the likelihood of failure. T4- (Sycamore) this tree is in slight decline, I would recommend very sensitive pruning on selected branches to help maintain a balanced crown. T5- (Beech) Using aerial platform to avoid unnecessary removal of healthy branches, remove dead branches only. T6- (Beech, Lime) Using aerial platform to avoid unnecessary removal of healthy branches, remove dead branches only.
