Proposal
Tree works on a Beech (T237), Indian Bean (T238) and Horse Chestnut (T242) for all 3 trees - 1. Crown Reduction Reduce the upper and lateral crown by approximately 4 metres from current branch tips, cutting back to suitable secondary growth points and broadly in line with the property boundary. The reduction will lessen overhang above Bacton Road and provide clearance from the suspended telephone line, while retaining a balanced and natural crown form appropriate to each species. 2. Crown Thinning Undertake light, selective thinning of approximately 15?20% to improve light penetration and air movement through the crown. Thinning will focus on growth extending toward the highway and utility line, avoiding removal of primary scaffold limbs and maintaining structural integrity. 3. Selective Branch Reduction Reduce approximately 8?12 secondary branches per tree by 2?3 metres where they contribute most significantly to overhang toward the road and telephone line. All pruning cuts will be made to appropriate growth points in accordance with good arboricultural practice. 4. Deadwood Removal Remove dead, dying or damaged branches throughout each crown in accordance with current arboricultural standards.
