Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
Oak (T2) - Crown reduction and pruning. Remove significant deadwood from crown. Crown lift to 5.4m clearance over highway and 3m clearance over garden. Selectively reduce overlong limbs by 2-3m to leave a balanced appearance. Modest reduction of central live growth to beyond existing hollow areas to reduce need for further tree surgery in the short term. Cutting at double blue lines on photo rather than single blue line.
