Proposal

T001 - Sessile Oak in back garden of 7 Blenkarne Road which requires root pruning to allow space for building agreed in planning permission. The excavation trial pit has unearthed roots travelling within the soil underneath an existing concrete slab within the garden. There are 5 roots above 25mm which require pruning the total length of the removal of each root 1.5m back to the edge of the proposed building edge. Due to the length of roots being minimal the roots don't offer significant stability and represent a small amount of the rooting system. A root barrier will be put in place after pruning to stop future encroachment onto the new building. Root diameters at point of proposed pruning: Lone root Root 1 - 65mm (large due to root forking) Included in cluster- Roots 2 - 29mm Root 3 - 40mm Root 4 - 25mm Root 5 - 55mm
