Proposal

T1 - Atlas Cedar - crown reduction and crown clean. The tree is approximately 21m tall. The extent of its canopy is approximately North 6m, South 9.5m, East 7.5m, West 7m. A crown reduction of approximately 20% is requested, making the new tree dimensions: 16m high with canopy dimensions North 4.5m, South 7.5m, East 6m, West 6m.Crown clean to remove any dead, damaged, weak or crossing branches. The reasons for this request is to allow more light into the garden and the neighbouring garden, reduce risk of wind damage to the tree and nearby property and to prolong the long term life of the tree. In particular, there is a branch facing East which is close to overhanging the nearby house. The tree is prone to branches breaking off in the wind - a number of scars can be seen. This work would reduce the weight of the branches, reducing the risk of future wind damage.
