Proposal

Beech (T1) - Following assessment, recommended works include the removal of deadwood and the removal of one identified crossed limb to improve crown structure and reduce the potential for future abrasion. Additionally, at the client's request, consent is sought to reduce the overall crown by up to 30% to contain the size of the tree within its setting. Works would be undertaken in accordance with BS 3998:2010, retaining a balanced crown form and suitable growth points.
