  T1 1 Beech tree: Clean to remove all dead, diseased, or crossing branches, thin 10% of the live branches throughout the canopy to allow more light and air penetration throughout the canopy/ reduce crown density/ reduce the risk of limb, stem or root failure due to sail effect, reduce the Height and Spread by approx 2.5 - 3m to balance and shape, raise the height of the lower branches to 4.5m in order to provide sunlight penetration to the understory and provide clearance Reasons: Proximity to Property and Structural Concerns: The tree's close proximity to the patio raises concerns for the structural integrity of the building. Its biased lean and protruding buttress roots could potentially threaten the stability of nearby structures. Light Access: The tree significantly blocks natural light, affecting not only the living conditions within my property but also the health of other vegetation in the area. Maintenance and Aesthetics: Regular pruning and maintenance are crucial to control the size of the tree, ensuring its health and aesthetic appeal. This is in line with the objective to preserve the tree for its ecological and visual benefits. Impact on Neighboring Gardens: The tree's extensive canopy and root system are suppressing the growth in neighboring gardens, affecting the biodiversity and enjoyment of these outdoor spaces. Safety Concerns: Given its size and lean, there is a potential risk of branches falling, especially during adverse weather conditions, posing a safety hazard. Biodiversity and Ecological Balance: Pruning the tree will not only benefit the structural and aesthetic aspects but also promote a healthier ecological balance, allowing for increased sunlight and space for other species to thrive.
