North Coker Hall Main Street East Coker Yeovil Somerset BA22 9LA
Notification of intent to carry out tree surgery work to No. 1 London Plane tree within a Conservation Area. Reduction of south and south east quadrant and central apical portion by drop crotch pruning on tertiary branch scaffold where radial spread of outer canopy will be retrenched by approx. 3 metres from the outer branch tips. Shortening east lower quadrant by 2.5 metres to mitigate mechanical stress on overextended limb and gently ease conflict with adjacent magnolia solangiana. Pruning cuts will not exceed 60mm I diameter and in accordance with the 1/3rd rules. The overall reduction will decrease the sail factor and will shift the tree natural gravitational pull eastward toward lower occupancy zone. The tree has a hollow area with east side cavity where pool is present, although the ratio of residual wall thickness is still far greater than 1/3, however the reduction should be consider a multi stages retrenchment with a projected replication of reductions with 8-10 years interval to contain overall spread in long term.
