TPA/26/1128 Decided
167 Maidstone Road Chatham Medway ME4 6JG
T4 - Oak - reduce height to fork at 2m above primary failure point (approx.14m), reduce radial spread from approximately 10m down to 7m to shape. The tree has suffered failure of a major primary branch, which resulted in the loss of s second lower primary branch, resulting in the loss of approx. 30% of the canopy to the south, leaving a large opening that exposes the canopy structure to a significant increase in failure risk. The work is considered to be required to address current very high risk safety concerns within a residential garden setting.
