Works to tree protected by a TPO. T1 Large Oak tree – Reduce the crown by approximately 2–3 metres to previous pruning points, including selective thinning of internal growth and the removal of epicormic shoots where appropriate. Works to be undertaken in accordance with BS3998 to retain a natural and balanced crown form. Justification: Routine cyclical maintenance to maintain the tree within its established management regime and to contain the canopy within the property boundary. Crown reduction will also reduce end weight on extended limbs and assist in managing the long term structural integrity of the tree.
