Proposal

EL:13/01 - T1 - Oak - 23m height, 6m crown radius - Remove Ivy - To stop Ivy spreading into canopy increasing wind loading and taking over/shading out growth points of the tree.T2 - Oak - 21m height, 4m crown radius - Remove Ivy, Reduce height by 3m to 20m, radius spread by 2m to 4m - Ivy to be removed for the same reason as T1, reduction to re-balance canopy the shape has been one-sided due to a phototropic lean this reduction would re-balance. T3 - Oak - 21m height, 5m crown radius - Reduce radius by 2m to 3m - Reduction as with T2, to address a canopy phototropic lean.T4 - Oak - 26m height, 8m crown radius - Remove damaged limb (hazard beam) to make safe over garden. - Removal of dangerous, partly snapped limb over garden where children play.T5 - Yew - 8m height, 5m crown radius - Reduce and shape by 2m to leave at 6m ht, with 3m crown radius - Tree is on garden edge so to reduce to smaller canopy and canopy interlinking with Holly - additionally this area of the woodland is partly open and we are keen to replant so will increase the light to be floor for establishment of native woodland species, note bramble and nettles will be controlled. T6 - Holly - 8m height, 5m crown radius - Reduce and shape by 2m to leave at 6m ht, with 3m crown radius - Tree work is linked to T5 above.
