Proposal

T1 Oak 14m height - 13m canopy spread (diameter) - crown reduce up to 3m west side and up to 4m on the east side of the tree. Crown lift to 4m, remove deadwood >25mm diameter, add mulch to the base of the tree. T2 - Oak 15m height - 11m canopy spread (diameter). Crown lift to 4m and crown thin by 20% remove deadwood >25mm diameter and crossing branches, add mulch to the base of the tree. T3 - Oak 18m height - 17m canopy spread (diameter). Crown lift up to 4m, crown reduce back to previous pruning points, remove one lowest branch over neighbouring property, reduce limb in mid-crown growing west by up to 5m to balance canopy, add mulch to the base of the tree. T4 - Oak 18m height - 11m canopy spread (diameter). Large split from circa 6m up on northern stem, weak unions at base, pollard up to 6m above ground level (when carrying out the work it may be deemed prudent to leave finish height higher, depending on penetration of the split), add mulch to the base of the tree. Consideration has been made for the potential for heave as the tree and adjacent property are situated on shrinkable soil, however, the closest adjacent property has been constructed on 9m piles therefore the risk of future indirect damage to the property from excess moisture is considered low. Subject to TPO 1893.
