Approved on 7 December 2020

Council decision: Consent TPO works

Approximate location: the centre of the postcode, not the exact property.

Proposal

T1 - Beech - Crown thin by 10-12%. Crown lift to ensure height clearance of 3m all around by removing small and secondary branches only at suitable growth points (final pruning cuts of no greater than 35mm diameter). Carry out a tip-reduction of the noted squirrel damaged lateral branches and overall radial crown spread by between 1-1.5m. Ensure pruning cuts are no greater than 60mm diameter and made at suitable growth points. T2 - Beech - Crown thin by 10-12%. Crown lift to ensure height clearance of 3m all around by removing small and secondary branches only at suitable growth points (final pruning cuts of no greater than 35mm diameter). Carry out a tip-reduction of the noted squirrel damaged lateral branches and overall radial crown spread by between 1-1.5m. Ensure pruning cuts are no greater than 60mm diameter and made at suitable growth points. Reasons: 1. reduce overall density and spread of the outer canopy of both trees; 2. reduce loading on squirrel damaged branches to reduce risk of load failure; 3. provide peace of mind to the home owner that trees are being pro-actively managed for risk management reasons.
