Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
As indicated on the attached plan, there is a mature beech tree situated in the front garden of the property. On inspection from the ground, it was noted to be weighted over the road with low limbs over the road. The proposal is to reduce the lower branches back from the road and crown lift the tree to balance the crown. To cut back the lower branches by 3m from the road, as indicated by the red line on the plan then carry out a crown lift to 5.2m above the ground.
