Granted Dorset P/TRT/2026/01630 Tree Works- TPO

Proposal

T1 - Poplar - Reduce crown shortening all peripheral branches by 3-3.5m, cut back to suitable secondary growth points as per indicative pruning points, red lines on attached photo. Selectively shorten or remove branches that display tear wounds predisposing them to failure (climber to decide on the day).
