    TREE IDENTIFICATION - Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus), rear garden, labelled T4 in the 2025 AIA. Recorded at 15.5 m height, DBH 440 mm, RPA 5.28 m; crown radii N/E/S/W = 6/6/4/6 m; comment: ?Trunk forks at 2 m, deadwood throughout crown.? SUMMARY - Sycamore (rear garden, ?T4?): Re-pollard to existing pollard heads to a final height of ~10.0 m; reduce laterals back to existing knuckles (final radial spreads N 3.2 m / E 3.2 m / S 3.0 m / W 3.2 m); remove deadwood =25 mm; works to BS3998:2010. - Contractor: Fenn?s Tree Care Ltd (competent, insured). Mark Fenn previously pollarded this sycamore and recommends re-pollard to ~10 m now. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED WORKS Sycamore (T4): Re-pollard back to established pollard heads (restore prior pollard framework). Final height ~10.0 m (per contractor?s professional recommendation). Final radial spreads: N 3.2 m / E 3.2 m / S 3.0 m / W 3.2 m (prune only to existing knuckles; maintain balanced crown). No cuts below pollard heads or into primary scaffold. Remove deadwood - 25 mm. All pruning to BS3998:2010. REASONS FOR THE WORKS Cyclical size management of an already pollarded tree. Earlier survey records historic size control (crown reduced in past); the current AIA notes deadwood throughout crown??together supporting renewal of the pollard cycle now. Professional arborist opinion. Mark Fenn (Fenn?s Tree Care) previously pollarded the tree and recommends re-pollard to -10 m on a cyclical basis (letter attached). Construction sequencing/access. The approved garden room will leave -0.5 m side/rear clearance; Estate correspondence warns this may restrict future management?doing works before the build avoids ad-hoc pruning in constrained space. Railway viaduct interface (duty of care). Network Rail states trees on adjacent land are the landowners responsibility; owners have a legal duty of care to ensure trees do not endanger neighbours/infrastructure. Re-pollard reduces end-weight/leverage toward the bounda
