    EL:97/06 Horse Chestnut (rear garden) - Reduce overall canopy by 2m to appropriate growth points following BS3998 standards. Lift the lower canopy by removing the two lowest branches back to the main stem. The objective of the reduction is to keep the tree at a smaller size away from the house, before larger pruning wounds would be created by a future more severe reduction.

    T1 - Fagus sylvatica (Common Beech).Specification: Remove T1 and replant with a 6ft Fagus sylvatica 'f. purpurea' (Copper Beech) in the same location as T1.Reasons for works: Owners are concerned with the safety, health and longevity of T1, having had multiple comments from visitors as to whether it is safe to be around. Causes for concern:- Main stem has fire damage on the Eastern side which has caused decay beyond the cambium. Sounding for decay is present from the center of the fire damage to approximately 15cm beyond the intact bark on the southern side and 10m on the northern side at 5ft. Photo 1,2 & 3.- The Beech came into leaf approximately 5 weeks later than the other Beech trees in the neighbouring gardens.- The canopy is in moderate condition with more dead wood than usual for a Beech species, especially in the upper crown. Photo 4 & 5.

    EL:97/06 - Tree Species: Sweet Chestnut (Castanea sativa) and Lime (Tilia species) Location: Both trees are located in the back garden. Proposed Work: We propose to reduce the overall canopy of both the Sweet Chestnut and Lime trees by approximately 1.5 to 2 meters. This reduction will involve carefully pruning back branches to an appropriate growth point, ensuring the trees maintain a natural and balanced appearance. Reason for Work: The size and density of the canopies have resulted in a significant reduction in natural light to both our property and the neighbouring property. The lack of sunlight has contributed to the formation of dampness on one of our exterior walls, which poses a long-term risk to the building's structure. Additionally, the branches are heavily weighted, with some having broken off historically, increasing the risk of further breakage and potential property damage. Additional Considerations: All work will be undertaken with care to preserve the health and aesthetic quality of the trees, ensuring their long-term vitality while addressing safety and property concerns.
