Proposal
Amendment to proposed works (received 12.12.2025): T1; Beech Tree - Fell Reason; T1 is suffering from 'Miripulus gigantus' around the base of the tree. There is further similar fungal growth up the trunk indicating rot within the trunk. The tree is within close proximity of 2 residential properties. T2 & T3 both Sycamore Trees - Fell. Reason; Both trees are suffering loss of leaf and increase in dead wood within their crowns. T2 has significant bark lifting and rot within the central trunk. Both trees lean over towards Madeira Road and the risk of danger to road traffic if they fall is considered high. T4; Holm oak - Remove side branch. T5; Holm oak - Fell. Reason: Allow better light for surrounding trees by removing the crowding.

St Winifreds Cliff Road Totland Totland Bay Isle Of Wight PO39 0BH
**5 Day Notice** Holm Oak - Prune tree from just below the snapped branch on the trunk and upwards. Possibly 60% of the tree. Reason: A substantial branch has broken and fallen onto the boundary fence. The tear extends into the main trunk of the tree, leaving it potentially dangerous and vulnerable to further failure and disease, particularly in high winds.

1 Greenways Totland Totland Bay Isle Of Wight PO39 0ED
T1; Oak (Quercus robur) is located on the left side of the property and is wished to be removed to ground level. Reason: Close to a nearby building and surrounding trees. The surrounding trees are older, bigger, and are causing T1 to grow towards the property with the lack of light and space. The removal of T1 will enhance the growth for surrounding trees and create a clearance between the building before issues arise. T2; Oak (Quercus robur) - Reduce by 20% from branch tip back to suitable growth points, no greater than 1/3 of the adjacent pruning cut on the overextended NE facing limb. Reason: Reduce the weight and limb twisting in the wind above the garage on the property, improve the natural tree shape which is currently being affected by this over extended limb.

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.
