  Works to tree with a TCA: T1 Walnut - Reduce Overall size of crown by 2m. The proposed crown reduction is recommended to lessen the loading on extended limbs by reducing the weight and leverage of previously reduced regrowth. This will help minimise the risk of limb failure and potential damage to nearby property, infrastructure, and highway assets. The works will also provide appropriate clearance from adjacent street furniture and enable its ongoing maintenance without conflict from encroaching branches. Reducing the crown will assist in managing the tree's size within its constrained urban setting while maintaining its health, natural form, and amenity value. maintaining safe access for pedestrians and vehicles and reducing the likelihood of future obstructions.
