Proposal
Tree Preservation Order EL:09/40 - T1 Copper beech on attached document. 1. Reduce crown on south east side of the tree in line with green line on plan. Reason: Recent high winds during Storm Conall brought down branches and caused damage to rear lower level roof (guttering damage). Crown has grown unevenly this side due to sun position and this would make the tree crown better proportions. 2. Thin the crown 10% Reason: Crown has grown thick again since last work carried out in 2017 and this would aid light transmission to neighbouring garden and benefit tree health. 3. Remove dead branches Reason: To improve tree health 4. Reduce crown on North East side of the property in line with green line on plan. Reason: Tree has grown unevenly this side due to sun position and now overhangs neighbouring property garden and corner of the house. Preventative measure to reduce risk of damage to property from falling objects.
