Works: Trees
Permission granted. Work must normally begin within three years of the decision or the permission lapses.
Proposal
T1; Aesculus hippocastanum (located next to a garage) - Lower limb reduced back to the first growth point. To create a clearance between the structure and prevent a large wound next to the stem. The limb growing towards the driveway entrance is becoming co- dominant therefore, this limb will be reduced by 30% back to good growth points, no greater than 1/3 of the adjacent pruning cut. The remaining tree will be reduced 20% to form a natural balanced tree shape, while incorporating a 10% thin with a crown clean and removing branches touching BT lines going through the tree canopy.

92% historically approved · decision due ~25 Nov
Acer spp. Pollard at spring of crown (approx 2.5m) Reason: to rejuvenate as a more manageable crown. The tree is currently very imbalanced and of poor form. Pollarding will enable retention, with occasional, formative interventions mitigating effects of prevailing south westerly winds as the crown reforms.

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.
