Proposal

T1 - Beech (Fagus sylvatica) Crownraise T1 by 3metres from ground level on the higher side (South Easterly side). Crownraise will consist of the removal of secondary and tertiary branches, with the aim to allow more space along the homeowners footpath which it is encroaching on and allow more light under the canopy. Remove dense epicormic growth around the main stem of T1 with the aim to decrease moisture retention around primary limbs and the main stem; it will also help to decrease the diversion of energy and improve amenity value. Remove deadwood throughout the canopy.
