Identified as T1 on the sketch plan. It is an English Oak TPO no.338. The tree is healthy but has developed the "stag's head" common these days on many oaks which in my opinion is down to our changing climate though can also be in part due to stress around root area. Anyway, it has developed dead wood predominantly in the center at the top of the crown and it is this bear wood that we wish to remove for safety reasons aswell as improving the appearance. The largest of these is maximum 3 metres long and approximately 6 inches diameter where it would be removed. There are 5 other smaller dead branches near to this (to the side and below) that are clear to see which we would also like to remove.

T1 - Ash Suggested Works: reduce height by 2-3 metres, Maximum Diameter of Cuts (MDC) 50mm. Reduce western aspect by 3 metres, MDC 75mm. Reduce northeastern and southwestern aspects by 2 metres, 50mm Crown lift above shed. Remove major hazardous deadwood. T2 - Lime Suggested Works: Reduce height and southern lateral spread by 2 metres, MDC 50mm. Prune remaining to reshape, tidy and contain. Rationale: The Ash tree is twin stemmed, the structural integrity of its basal union is in doubt. These works are necessary to reduce loading and reduce the risk posed by this tree to an acceptable level. Reduction works to the Lime are proposed as part of the reasonable maintenance of this vigorous tree.
