Proposal
Notification of intent to Fell No. 1 Tree and carry out Tree Surgery Works to No. 1 Tree within a Conservation Area. T3 - Ash, reduce upper canopy on northern aspect by 2-3m, making pruning cuts up to 50mm in diameter, T6 - Holly, fell to ground level. The mature Ash tree has had its lower northern canopy pruned but the upper canopy remains untouched and is now becoming exposed. The relatively light reduction works are necessary to reduce the risk of limb failure over the neighbouring property and will have a limited affect on the tree's physiological processes. The Holly is a scrappy specimen and not worthy of retention.
