Proposal

Crown lift all trees (various species) adjacent station associated pedestrian walkways and access to 3m from ground level to enable safe access for users by removing encroaching branches within walkways/access. Crown lifting will only be required on the aspect of the tree that is directly adjacent the car park/walkway/access. Where branches over extend into platform areas raised walkways (e.g. footbridge) the reduction of branches may be required, by pruning branches back by 1-2m in length to maintain clear access.
