Proposal
Application for works to protected trees - Chorley BC TPO 9 (Chorley) 1995; Oak x2 Proposed Works: Remove epicormic growth from ground level up to the main crown break (approximately 8m). Undertake a specified lateral crown reduction of up to 2m on branches towards the property, to clear the boundary line. Reason for Works: Routine maintenance to clear low-level epicormic clutter around the main stems, and a localized lateral reduction to alleviate branch encroachment and maintain clear clearance over the boundary line without compromising the overall physiological health or structural integrity of the trees. Silver Birch (Betula pendula) Proposed Works: Remove 2x specified overextended lateral branches growing toward the property at 37 Bowers. Reason for Works: Target-specific pruning to mitigate the risk of branch failure from overextended weight and to prevent structural encroachment and direct conflict with the adjacent residential building at 37 Bowers.
