11 Rectory Gardens Irthlingborough Wellingborough NN9 5LA

Proposal

Reference to a Tree Survey by Macintyre Trees dated June 22 and the observations and recommendations for trees on the land surrounding Rectory Gardens: T4 Norway Maple - One broken but still partially attached branch over footpath - remove broken hanging branch and prune remainder to suitable growth point or to source. T17 Robinia - Triple stem from base. Dense ivy and lower shoots obscure structure. Some shoot growth beginning to droop into footpath. Remove basal and lower stem epicormics. T20 Robinia - . Multiple stems from base forming a wide feature on bank. Some bark inclusions and natural grafting between stems. Southern most stem has old pruning wound at around 1m. Advanced decay will become established in future. Additional wound and advanced decay also present on north east side near base, which will exacerbate weakness if decay columns coalesce. Southern stem form is also poor form, with abruptly angled growth from around 10m which extends over parking bays. Likelihood of failure increased because of poor structural form, being on edge of group and decay in lower stem. Potential for traffic and parked cars to be affected. Remove only the southern most stem to near ground. Remove deadwood from remaining crown and prune lower foliage to give at least 3m clearance over path. T21 Robinia - Twin stem from near base. Foliage partially obscure lamp column light splays. Prune to clear lamp column and light splays.
