Proposal

TPOd trees: T1 - Lime, remove basal epicormic growth T15 - Pear, reduce height by 2m Conservation area only: T5 - Ash, reduce southerly limb by 2m to appropriate growth points T6 - Ash, reduce southeasterly growing limb by approximately 2m to appropriate growth points G7 - Elm, fell 4 no. of dead stems T9 - Sycamore, remove scrub at base of tree T10 - Sycamore, reduce southwestern aspect, away from residential property, by approximately 2-3m. G12 - Elder, coppice 2 no. of stems Justification of works to T1 & T15: The clearance of the basal epicormic growth on T1 is to allow for a detailed inspection of the base of the tree. The Pear tree, T15, has had a large branch, or co-dominant stem, tear out and left a large wound and a significant volume has been removed. A reduction in the height is to reduce loadings at this point and for the benefit of the tree and its longevity. See the report for full details.
