Proposal

DTS Consultancy Quantified Tree Risk Assessment Work Recommendations; T001 - 1x Mature Cedar of Lebanon (Cedrus libani) - Reduce overall canopy of the tree by reduce the height of the tree by approximately 1.0 metres leaving a final tree height of approximately 13.0 metres. Reduce radial canopy spreads by approximately 2.0 metres leaving a final radial crown spread of approximately 13.0 metres at all compass points while retaining the main framework & shape of the crown & therefore a high proportion of the foliage bearing structure. All pruning cuts to be made at suitable growth points. Pruning wounds shall not exceed 75 mm in diameter. Remove all cut material from site & return to a Devon Tree Services depot for recycling, leaving the area safe, clean & tidy. The amenity value of the tree is high; it has historical heritage and is a significant feature of the area. Despite the tree being considered a tolerable risk, another failure may impact the trees longevity and the social considerations around the tree. The recommendations will have very minimal impact on the amenity value of the tree but a significant impact on the probability of branch failure, thus producing a balance of management and amenity.
