    10 Year Woodland Management Plan: Year 1 and 2: Remove elderberry, buddleia and bramble to gain accessibility and improve the potential of natural regeneration. Year 3, 4 and 5: Remove the debris, scrap metal and other waste from the area as well as invasive bamboo. This will make the area safer and again easier to access as well as improving the chance of natural regeneration. Remove the non native Cyprus trees. Year 6 and 7: Remove the remaining bamboo and other returning invasive plants. Identify trees from natural regeneration to be protected and weed around them, lifting and replanting those felt to be positioned better. Year 8, 9 and 10: Remove dead and dying dangerous trees. Continue to manage the woodland by removing invasive species as necessary. The woodland management plan's main objective is to remove invasive species that are limiting access to the woodland for assessment, management and limiting the chance of natural regeneration with in the woodland. The main invasive species to be removed are bramble, buddleia, elderberry and bamboo as well as the non native Cyprus trees. Once the woodland is accessible the debris and scrap metal in the woodland will be remove to further aid natural regeneration as well as making it safer to access and assess.

    Redhill Farm Redhill Lane Wroxall Ventnor Isle Of Wight PO38 3ER

    T4; English Oak - Reduce lower lateral over-extending branches back to suitable growth points up to 2-3m from branch tips; remove downward growing branches to prevent further leveraging. Reason: Lower canopy has become unbalanced and leaning more towards the client's property. By reducing the large lateral limbs and removing downward growth we hope to promote re-balancing and take off some weight to prevent leveraging.

    Land To Rear Of 12 Crossways Newport Isle Of Wight PO30 5PE

    1; English oak (closest to house) - Lower horizontal limbs towards the house removed to lift crown height to approximately 6-7m (to the main upright crown structure), continue to remove the lower crown limbs from the same tree that extend over the neighbouring garden to a similar height to balance and shape the crown. 2; English oak (western boundary) - Remove previously cut back upper crown limb/stem over garden. 3; English oak - Raise crown height over the rear boundary to approximately 5-6m in height. 4; English Oak (within the neighbouring garden to the south east) Crown raised to approximately 5-6m in height (over their outbuilding). 5; English Oak - Remove lowest horizontal limb to the south. Reason for works: Trees creating constant shade and shadow and limiting the use of the amenity space. Pruning will allow more light through and under the trees and reduce the dominance.

    36 Beachfield Road Sandown Isle Of Wight PO36 8LT

    TG1; Sycamore and Leylandii trees situated on bankside between property 36 Beechfield and Bayshore and Royal Pier Hotels (approximately 30 trees) - Fell. Reason: Trees are self-set in an unmanaged area, causing issues for the homeowner and posing problems for the hotels below. Bring the bankside area back into management by removing the larger trees and allowing it to regenerate as coppice, so they can be periodically cut down at ground level when they get too large in the future. Some trees have unstable root conditions, are growing through telecoms cables, interfere with fire escape routes from the hotels below, and come into close contact with kitchen electrical systems, which may pose a future fire risk if left unmanaged. Tree failure on the bankside could block the fire escapes for the hotels below.
