G3 - Remove the hanging branches from an Ash tree. The Beech tree from which the section failed is a very large tree. Its a large section that came down There is extensive decay at the point at which it failed there is an included union and substantial proportion of the canopy is still up and the only attachment is where this very decayed wood is. It is clear that at some point in the near future this is likely to fail. To monolith the tree to just below the level of the failure, which means removing the remaining canopy. At the same time the Ash tree will need to be reduced by approximately 30% folia which equates to 1.5-2m from the branch tips to mitigate the wind loading on this tree. Otherwise the section that's failed and the remaining canopy gone this tree will be very exposed and is likely to shed branches in relatively moderate winds. G3 A group of trees consisting of 6 Ash, 4 Beech, 18 Horse Chestnut, 19 Norway Maple and 6 Lime Spec: S1 T1 Ash, remove hanging branches, reduce canopy by 1.5-2m this equates to approx 30% of the tree's le Spec: S1 T2 Beech, to monolith the tree to just below the failure Spec: S19 Please add the following at the end of all the aprroved works: All pruning cuts must be made at bra Reason: R1 Sound arboricultural management Reason: R2 To ensure future compatibility with site, surroundings and usage
