- Cottisford House Street Through Cottisford Cottisford Brackley NN13 5SWAwaiting decisionFollowing a professional assessment by an arborist, we are following their recommendation to propose a 15% crown reduction alongside the removal of deadwood throughout the canopy. The justification for these proposed works includes: - Tree Health & Preventative Maintenance: A modest 15% reduction will maintain the size, structural balance, and overall health of the tree. Delaying maintenance would eventually necessitate a much larger reduction (around 30%), which risks significant damage to the tree's health and structural integrity. - Proximity to Utilities: The expanding canopy is approaching nearby power cables on two sides. - Property Encroachment: The canopy is increasingly encroaching onto neighbouring properties. - Public Safety Risk: Due to the weak nature of Sycamore timber, unmanaged growth increases the risk of drooping or breaking branches directly over the public footpath and road.Works To Trees In Conservation AreaReceived 15 Sep 202626/02325/TCA
