Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
TPO780A: T10 (our T2) - 1 x Sycamore in rear garden - reduce to ground level Reason: This mature Maple is exhibiting extensive stem deterioration, with approximately 90% of the circumference at the lower trunk affected by loss of bark and apparent cambial death. The remaining functional vascular tissue is limited and may be insufficient to support the long-term health and structural integrity of the tree.

1 SEYMOUR DRIVE, ASCOT, SL5 8FX
T1 - Norway Maple - Reduce canopy height and lateral spread 3-4m back towards previous reduction points. Cuts will be made back to suitable growth points from which point the tree can be maintained in a reduced pollarded form. Reason: T1 (Norway Maple) is a suppressed tree of poor form and with a stem defect. The overhanging canopy of T1 has a significant impact on the garden of 1 Seymour Drive and breaking branches cause a nuisance to residents. Works are recommended to reduce the canopy to alleviate the nuisance to residents from which point the tree can be managed in a reduced pollarded form. As the tree has no wider visual amenity value from a public viewpoint, the quality and canopy cover of trees within the Brackens Estate and wider Woodland Tree Preservation Order will not be undermined.

ASCOT PRIORY, PRIORY ROAD, ASCOT, SL5 8RT
Large dead Scott's Pine that our tree surgeon identified this week and you will see from the attached photos that were it to fall it could endanger pedestrians and vehicles on the Priory Road boundary of Ascot Priory.
