5 Clare Valley Nottingham Nottingham City NG7 1BU
T1 - Copper Beech - due to its overall size, location, proximity to surrounding properties and my clients wish for more natural light entering the property we propose a crown reduction of approx 2.5-3m, along with lifting the crown to 7m above ground level, and a crown thin of 15% (which will also encompass the branches being removed for the reduction) T2 - Oak - this specimen actually resides on park estate land which is adjacent to #5, the tree has previously been pruned under concerns about its proximity to the building, the pruning works are inconstant and poor and barely fix the concerns raised. We propose a crown lifting to 7m above ground level, a crown thinning of 15%, a crown reduction of approx 2m and a proximity prune to provide 3m clearance away from the main building

3 Clare Valley Nottingham Nottingham City NG7 1BU
T1 - Horse Chestnut - Given the trees overall size within what is essentially a small garden in comparison and the close proximity to adjacent properties there is a combined agreement and wanting between #3,4,5 Clare Valley and #3 Tattershall Drive that they wish the tree to be removed on the grounds of its over bearing nature in its environment to allow more light into the properties and gardens and to help alleviate damp and darkness inside the properties. The tree has previously been pollarded and not been shown any attention in the years preceding the works, no aerial inspection has taken place but water staining can been seen around the main pollard point indicating a bowl at the unions and a possible cavity. The bending stresses on a pollarded union are much higher than of a stem formed from sapling growth as they inherently have weaker fibre bonds due to the nature in which they grown from the cut stem and from growth nodes around the cut site. A tree is most within its safety factor when one canopy occupies many branches and one main stem, the more stems there are there is an increased risk of failure due to higher sail age in the canopy and timber weight, this is exaggerated more so if the main stem is beginning to hollow around the union site, with this information and the overall age of the specimen being in the 50-60 year category it is of higher risk of failure due to its structure and age and in the target area poses a hazard to its surroundings if failure occurs.
