T1 Oak Works - Veteranise pruning to lower vigourous growth. Reason - Extensive decay in main stem will lead to failure of main stem which will shorten lifespan of the tree as failure will remove important regeneration. Having given planning permission to build so close to the tree the risk of failure has to now be reduced. Management of the tree in line with a veteran tree with a lower canopy and more vigourous growth will enable safe retention for potentially hundreds of years.
