Proposal

T1 False Acacia (21/T23) - The tree exhibits a noticeable lean, and the lower branches have a heavy end weight, which poses concerns regarding its stability and safety. Proposed Works: We are seeking permission to undertake the following works to maintain the health and safety of the False Acacia tree: 1. Canopy Reduction: - Reduce the canopy by up to 3 metres. This reduction aims to alleviate the heavy weight on the branches, promoting a more balanced shape and reducing the risk of branch failure. 2. **Lifting of Lower Branches** - Raise the lower branches to a height of 5 metres to give good clearance underneath of the Tree and also create a more balanced shape and reduce sail effect.
