26/502101/TPOATree Preservation Order ApplicationAwaiting decision

Proposal

Tree Preservation Order application (1 of 1969) - 1 x Chestnut - reduce height by approx 3m from 12m and reduce lateral spread from 3m to match top and suitable growth points. It has been cut previously so maybe back to that lop and top point. Lower crown height would be lifted to 2m clearance where suitable growth points exist to presume tree health.
