Proposal
**5 DAY NOTICE** T1; Large Oak (Quercus robur) (located next to a wedding venue) - Significant structural decay of at least 40% circumference on one of the leading stems. This stem is to be reduced down to the lowest growth point, to where the structural integrity of the timber improves. The remaining lowest limb is to be reduced by 50% to remove the wind sail effect from extended limb. Failure to do these works will cause the stem to fail, which may result significant harm to the surrounding area, properties and or life to the public.

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.

By reducing the large lateral limbs and removing downward growth we hope to promote re-balancing and take off some weight to prevent leveraging.
