Proposal
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.

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.
