Proposal
Tree Preservation Order Application - T1: Common Horse chestnut with recent history of limb failure. Reduce in height by approx. 6m pruning the remaining canopy to shape, removing broken branch stubs and dead limbs. Residual height will be approx. 20m with residual lateral spread of approx. 6m, T2: Lime. Due to location overhanging an area of high pedestrian and vehicle movement it is necessary to reduce the weight. Reduce in height by approx. 6m and approx. 6m laterally to shape. Residual height will be approx. 24m with residual lateral spread of 7m. On going maintenance works. Both works are for health and safety and good arboricultural practice.
