Proposal

Tree Number - T1 Tree Type - Yew (Taxus baccata) Approx. Diameter at 1.5m - 0.4m Approx. Height - 10m Approx. Crown Spread Diameter - 6m Location - See map Service - Section dismantle and grind Work Required - Section dismantle and grind out stump to a depth of approx. 200mm below the stumps current ground level and leave all stump arisings to allow for ground settlement Reason - Die back is present throughout the whole crown, damage to large root observed most likely during construction of the house, biased lean towards the house due to being in competition with much larger and mature trees along the boundary of the property. Given the decline in health of the tree, competition with much larger well established trees as well as damage to root system and proximity to the house removal is recommended. Priority Code - B

    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
