MODIFIED SEPECIFICATION SEE CONDITION 2 T1 - Beech - All round crown reduction by 2 meters. T2 - Sycamore - Re-pollard to previous points (approx. 2m reduction). T3 - Beech -All round crown reduction by 2 meters. This work represents the continuation of an established pollarding cycle to manage the tree's canopy weight. The reductions are necessary to maintain statutory clearance over the adjacent public highway and footway. Managing the crown via this routine cycle mitigates excessive seasonal shading.
