    Greenacre, Uxmore Road, Checkendon, RG8 0SX

    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.

    Ash (T2 of TPO 09/2019) - Reduce back crown over single storey block D4 by a maximum of 4m at its widest point (work mainly relates to over extended limbs over roof). Reduce back low branches over the roof to create 3m clearance. Cutback branches from front of the adjacent building (D6) to create 2-3m clearance. To help balance the crown, reduce remaining crown by approx. 2m. To avoid altering the balance of the tree as a whole, the crown of the tree should be reduced in proportion to its original shape. All pruning cuts must be made at branch junctions, leaving sufficient live growth to maintain or enhance crown form.
