Re-pollard the remaining smaller diameter stems back to the previous pollard points to retain the existing management regime. T2 Walnut - Reduce the lateral spread encroaching towards both neighbouring gardens by up to 1.5m, pruning back to suitable growth points to reduce end weight and improve crown balance.

Final pruning cuts shall not exceed 60mm in diameter. T3 Hazel - Fell the three ivy-clad stems to ground level. Additionally, coppice the smaller stems located in front of the larger stems to ground level. T4 Fastigiate Apple - Reduce the height of the crown by approximately 1.0–1.25m to a finished height between the window sill and the top of the upper window. Additionally, selectively reduce extended lateral branches back to suitable inward-facing growth points and thin dense areas of the inner crown to improve crown structure. The purpose of these works is to maintain an appropriate size and form within the current domestic setting.

The crown is currently squat in form, with the majority of growth extending laterally to the northwest and northeast; selectively reduce these areas by up to 2 metres to rebalance the crown and create a more uniform shape. Ensure finishing cuts do not exceed 80mm in diameter. Additionally, remove deadwood throughout the crown and crown lift over the lawn area to achieve approximately 3 metres clearance above ground level. The purpose of these works is to continue the ongoing crown management and create a smaller, less sporadic and better-balanced crown form suited to the current domestic setting.

1-7 Orchard Walk Love Lane Watlington, OX49 5RD

T004 Robinia - Further remedial works, following branch failure. The branch appears to have fallen as a result of lack of support from the removed, failed section of the crown. This is suggested by rubbing wound on the fallen branch when paired with the location on the tree from which the branch fell from. Recommendation: Reduction of up to 3m of the remainder of the tree to reduce the sail effect and rebalance the tree. T116 Cherry - Tree has significantly deteriorated since the survey in December 2024 and is almost now dead – it is visibly in poor form and there is significant defoliation. Recommendation: Given the proximity of the footpath and safety concerns, it is recommended to fell to ground level.

T106 Cedar of Lebanon Observations: Overall good health, although is situated in a tarmac carpark, adjacent to blocked paving and within close proximity to a care home. As a result of the large size of the tree, the roots have created an uneven surface on both the footpath and car park. Residents are reported to have tripped over, thus creating a health and safety concern. The hard surfaces and weight of the parked cars is likely to have caused soil compaction, and some root damage is already visible. Recommendations: Removal of the tree and primary root system would allow for surfaces to be levelled to mitigate the risk of injury - with a possibility of replanting. The full dismantle and removal of the tree. We have been asked by the client to emphasise the H&S issues as lots of the elderly residents have fallen over on the roots.
