Proposal

Metasequoia- close proximity of tree to a concrete drive has lead to cracks & lifting of current drive. Wish to replace current drive with gravel and edge with block paving. SHBC Arboricultural officer has advised that removal of the current drive may disturb roots & structure / support will be needed to protect roots. Further advice via a Method Statement to be given by Arboricultural Consultant Steve Wood SMW Consultancy Ltd prior to removal and once the roots have been exposed a further visit as necessary.

G16 - conifers - remove 2 x dead stems. T17 and T18 is to carry out a thorough dead wood of both trees, and conduct an aerial inspection of the trees structures to identify potential hazzards. If we discover any issues, for example broken limbs, rot pockets that are substantial (over 30% into a limb or union), excessively rubbing branches that have resulted in the lower branch having the cambium rubbed back to more than 20%, we would request that we remove these items as a matter of safety. We would also ask that we bring any over extending lateral branches back to the natural canopy line, in an attempt to prevent future limb failure. T19 - Oak - remove dead wood T20 - Acer - remove dead stem T21 - Norway Maple - Crown lift to 2.5m. G24 - Silver Birch -remove 2 dead top sections from group of 7.
