  Notification of intent to carry out Tree Surgery Works to No. 1 Tree within a Conservation Area. T1 - Crack Willow: three stems, previously pollarded to circa 9m. Heavily infected at base and mid canopy with gannoderma bracket fungus. Large limb failure at ground level which went in to river. Proposed work: Remove river side stem to ground level. Re-pollard stems leaving towards property grounds to approx 2-3m in height. This will be done in a phased approach with the removal of the river side stem being done as a priority and the further pollarding at a later stage to mitigate impact on local landscape.

  Notification of intent to carry out Tree Surgery works to No. 1 Tree within a Conservation Area. T1 - Fig tree. The tree has been lopped a number of times in the past (we are new owners) and has still very much thrived. The current growth pattern is causing the large branches to cross and become intertwined, which will cause ventilation and fruit production issues going forward. The tree has also been allowed to grow very tall, which makes maintenance difficult. We would like to take one of the main branches, which is twisted off to leave the main trunk. We will also be training the new suckers to keep close to the wall with the most sunlight, which will be ideal for future maintenance. The tree is in a private courtyard that is not accessible by anyone else. It is starting to overgrow onto the roof and gutters of Town Mill, High Street, which also causes problems with access and clearing in the fall by the owners of the property.
