Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T1 Silver Birch canopy reduction. The proposed works comprise a selective crown reduction of up to 1.5 metres, focused on branches extending towards the building and neighbouring properties, while retaining the tree’s natural form and maintaining an even, balanced crown. Dead, damaged and weakly attached branches will be removed only where necessary.
