1no. Oak (T1) - Crown reduction of up to 2m throughout the canopy, pruning back to suitable natural growth points. Works are proposed as part of an ongoing cyclical maintenance programme for this tree. 1no. Sweet Chestnut (T2) - Remove. Tree exhibits a large wound at base of stem, with approx 75% canopy dieback. Tree appears suppressed by a larger adjacent Oak, contributing to its decline. Due to the poor physiological condition and limited long-term viability, removal is recommended. 1no. Sweet Chestnut (T3) - Fell. Tree has been previously struck by lightning, resulting in a significant longitudinal wound extending from the base of stem to upper crown. This defect has compromised structural integrity of the tree. Replace with a suitable species is recommended. 1no. Oak ( T4 ) - Reduction of approx 2m on the side facing property, to restore structural balance and form, as part of an ongoing programme of tree management and maintenance. Tree exhibits a significantly unbalanced canopy, with growth predominantly weighted to one side.
