T1 - Norway Maple (Acer platanoides) Location: Rear garden, north-eastern boundary Approximate Height: 8 metres Proposed Works: - Crown reduction of approximately 2.5m - Reduction of lateral spread - Removal of defective co-dominant stem back to union - Alternative: Installation of Cobra dynamic bracing system Reason for Works: The tree contains a co-dominant stem with included bark and structural weakness. Signs of compression, stress, and basal damage are present. Failure may result in damage to nearby property. T2 - Walnut (Juglans regia) Location: Rear garden, northern boundary Approximate Height: 10 metres Proposed Works: - Crown reduction of approximately 3m - Reduction of lateral spread - Canopy rebalancing Reason for Works: The tree has become oversized for its setting and is encroaching on boundaries.
