Council decision: Tree Application - No objection

Approximate location: the centre of the postcode, not the exact property.

Proposal

1. Indigenous walnut tree current canopy 13 meter diameter. Reduce canopy size to managable size of 7 metres and remove diseased and lower branches. 2. Red common Acer either fell and replace with a 10 year old sapling or reduce canopy size to 30m in height. and prune lower branches by lifting to 2.5m from the ground. This tree is 2 metres from a ground drop at the internal fence of 1 metre. Hence it is putting strain on the retaining ground and fence. Also competes with the two larger trees, walnut and copper beech. 3. Copper�Beech tree, branches overhanging the road are to be lifted to a safe height to ensure�that tractors and vehicles can safely pass, 3 meters from the road The canopy�to be pruned to a safe height of 30 metres.
