Proposal

TPO176 Application to prune 7 trees and fell 2 trees. T010-Situated on the northern aspect of the roadside fence. Beech bifurcates at approximately 50 cm included bark union. Western stem overextends parallel to highway. Putting pressure on union at base evidence of cracking around union. Reduce western most stem to approximately 2 m above bifurcation. T009-Tree sits on Southern aspect of ditch with ground dropping away on Northern aspect. Tree leans approximately 20° over the highway. Longitudinal split in Northern aspect approximately 0.5 m in length at 9m. Main stem has historically snapped at approximately 10 m. Reduce trees height by approximately 2 or 3m to a point below longitudinal split and back to viable growth point. T008-Beech tree. Tree sits on Southern aspect of ditch with ground dropping away on Northern aspect. Tree leans approximately 20° over the highway. Significant deadwood overhanging highway at approximately 6 m. Longitudinal split in Northern aspect approximately 0.5 m in length at 8m, due to historical branch tear. Unidentified fungal fruiting bodies emerging from the cavity. Evidence to die back in the uppermost academy. Due to this tree's location on the edge of ditch and lean over highway fungal fruiting bodies and die back in canopy. Fell to ground level. T037-Beech. Open cavity eastern aspect approximately 5 cm wide at base tapering to apex at approximately 60 cm. Significant decay within the cavity fruiting body similar in appearance to G002-2 Sweet Chestnut situated on the southern aspect of the roadside fence. Southern tree has a DBH of 51 cm. Northern Tree has a DBH of 59 cm. Southernmost tree is leaning and hung up in Northern Tree, has been struck by another falling significant tree causing instability. longitudinal stress cracks to the bark and cambium in Southern Tree. Northernmost tree leaning at approximately 20° towards the main highway. Both trees are in decline. Both trees holding significant dead wood in the canopies. Both trees have dieback in the upper canopy. Highway significant target. Reduce both trees to approximately 6 m in height. T036-Sweet Chestnut. Sweet chestnut leans at approximately 45° in a Northwesterly direction, significant stress on root plate. Target highway. Reduce main stem to 5m in height. Fell to ground level T041-Beech tree has been struck by falling scots pine on Western aspect. Abrasion marks down Western aspect of stem. Impact has caused beech to lean at approximately 30° East northeast, causing instability at the base. Canopy is hung up in sweet chestnuts to the east. Significant deadwood hung up in beech tree from fallen Scots pine increasing the weight of the canopy significantly. Reduce main stem to 4m and leave in situ as eco pole T038-Sweet Chestnut. Multi-Stem sweet chestnut, westerly stem dead. Remove Westerly stem to ground level. T034-Sweet Chestnut. Leans at approximately 45° in a Northwesterly direction, significant stress on root plate. Reduce main stem to 7 m in height.

    T16 - Mature Walnut Tree - Crown lift mature walnut to approximately 3m above ground level by the selective removal of lower branches to improve pedestrian clearance, access and maintenance beneath the crown and provide appropriate clearance from the adjacent garden structure. Retain the natural form and overall character of the tree. Description and reason for works: The mature walnut tree is proposed to be crown lifted to approximately 3 metres above ground level , by the selective removal and shortening of lower branches where appropriate. The lower crown currently extends down into the garden area and across the pedestrian access route, creating restricted clearance beneath the tree and interfering with the practical use and maintenance of the area. The low branches also extend towards and over the adjacent garden structure and restrict access around the building. The proposed crown lifting is intended to provide improved headroom and pedestrian clearance , allowing the area beneath and around the tree to be used and maintained safely and effectively. It will also provide suitable clearance from the adjacent garden building whilst reducing the likelihood of lower branches being damaged through regular pedestrian activity and maintenance operations. The works will be undertaken selectively, removing only those lower branches necessary to achieve an approximately 3-metre crown clearance . The natural form, structural framework and overall appearance of the walnut will be retained, with no unnecessary removal of healthy upper-canopy growth. All pruning will be carried out in accordance with good arboricultural practice, with pruning cuts made at suitable branch unions and positioned to minimise unnecessary wounding. The intention is to retain the mature walnut as an important landscape and amenity tree whilst improving clearance and access beneath its crown . G2 - 1 x Silver Birch - Remove major deadwood
