Tree Species & Numbers (as shown on sketch plan) T1 – Mature Lime (Tilia × europaea) Located at the rear boundary. Previously pollarded with established knuckle formation visible. T2 – Semi-mature Lime (Tilia × europaea) Situated adjacent to T1. Previously managed via pollarding with defined regrowth points. T3 – Apple (Malus domestica) Garden fruit tree showing historic pollard/reduction points with dense upper crown regrowth. Description of Proposed Works T1, T2, and T3: Pollard all three trees back to their previous pollard points, removing approximately 2–4 metres of current season and secondary regrowth (final cuts to suitable growth points). Works are proposed to: Maintain trees at a sustainable size for the garden setting Reduce end-weight and sail effect Manage crown density Minimise risk of branch failure Promote structured regenerative growth from established pollard heads All works will be carried out in accordance with BS3998:2010 – Tree Work Recommendation The trees have historically been managed by pollarding and the proposed works represent cyclical maintenance rather than a change in arboricultural practice.
