Tree species: Holm oak - T3 in preservation order (TPO 439) (Doc 2) and T3 on the sketch plan (Doc 3). Proposed works The tree has grown significantly and now exceeds the safe limit for its location. The arborist has identified a significant structural defect caused by Ganoderma decay fungus emerging from the main load-bearing component. The tree also has a long-standing weakened bifurcation and stands in close proximity to residential property. On this basis, our arborist has recommended pollarding to reduce the risk of structural failure and to manage the long-term health and safety of the tree. (For a detailed assessment and supporting photos, please see Doc 1 - Doug Pratt arborist assessment). Arborist recommends the holm oak is reduced to circa 7/8 metres and crown lifted to 3.5 metres above ground level, as applied previously. (fyi: The same work was approved and undertaken approx 10 years ago.)
