Proposal

Proposed crown lift by 3m and proposed shorterning of lateral branches by up to 3m of a 1 x Sessile Oak identified as T12 protected by tree preservation order T282. Reduce the crown height by up to 3 metres and shorten lateral branches by up to 3 metres where required to achieve a balanced, natural crown outline. Use selective branch shortening to suitable growth points, addressing the uneven crown and the branches extending towards and over No. 5 Cae Derw. The lateral reduction will vary around the crown according to its existing form and the location of suitable growth points, while remaining within the approved dimensions and the 3 metre maximum. Retain the main crown framework and sufficient healthy foliage to support the tree???s continued vitality and amenity value. All work will be carried out in accordance with BS 3998:2010 Tree work - Recommendations by a qualified and competent tree surgeon. The proposed treatment is a crown reduction; it does not include felling, pollarding, topping, root pruning or a separate crown lift.
