2/TPO/00171 -The tree is classed as a T1 oak. Reduce the crown by 2.5m due to excessive growth towards property to manage this tree due to its proximity this tree will always require management to appease living spaces and gardens issues which commonly arise from shading caused by trees themselves. Mature oak covered by TPO with close proximity to building. A crown reduction will be beneficial to mitigate shading and future overhanging issues. Limbs towards the property and stems have been historically pollarded which have recovered from this and have now formed the current crown shape.

2/TPO/00666: T1- Lime: Reduction of crown on SSW side of crown over structure 2.5-3.5m. Crown reduction of over extended limbs (target prune on whole crown) 1-2.5m. This reduction will bring the extended limbs back in to the main crown structure and reduce risk of extended limbs failing due to previous pruning cuts. Current crown size 22x13m. T2- Lime: Crown reduction of over extended limbs (target prune on whole crown) 1-2.5m. This reduction will bring the extended limbs back in to the main crown structure and reduce risk of extended limbs failing due to previous pruning cuts. Current crown size 20x13m. T3- Lime: Reduction on NE side of crown 2-2.5m, lime tree has been removed from the western side of T3 this has caused the early development growth to lean to the E and removing the tree has exposed the crown (T3) to the environment change. Reducing the crown on eastern side will promote better structure and reduce risk of failing. Current crown size 22x13m. Location/risk- T1,2 & 3 have highways and dwellings in target zone including oil tanks (domestic). Public foot fall is high due to local amenities route. All above work in line with BS 3998 (2010).
