Planning application
Two Oaks Pennys Lane Margaretting Ingatestone Essex CM4 0HA
Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T2 Oak (T3 on map) -Prune the lowest branch over Penny's Lane back to its previous pruning point- reducing the length of the branch by approximately 2m. Once this is achieved. To use the length of the branch that is left (5m) as a reference measure to follow around the crown reducing the rest of the side crown to match this length and thus balance the crown. To follow this course of action will mean approximately 5m removed from the northern branches. 2m removed from the south and 4m from the western crown. Also to remove a maximum of 3m off the top. All cutting will be to live pruning points in line with the recommendations of BS 3998:2010. Reason: To alleviate the crown weight and spread so as to lessen the potential of branch breakout and branch snap.
