    I have spoken to a tree surgeon and he has suggested that we apply for pruning of approx 2m height and width, and the removal of vine that is wrapping around the trunks, so that the trees remain healthy Two trees (1 x Sycamore and 1 x Ash)- T225 and T226 that seem to have overgrown branches that need tidying. We have spoken to an arborist that has suggested a Crown reduction of approximately 2 x 2m for the overall health of the trees and to prevent awkward grown branches from falling.

    T1 - Ash to re-pollard. This tree has been pollarded multiple times, regrowth is around 3-4m so is due to be cut. Pollard points will be a weakness in this tree so if left the new growth risk failure will start to increase due to weakened unions. I estimate it to be 4-5 years since its last pollard so its due to be cut now to maintain pollard cycle.

    TPO760 T50 Mature oak tree has died. We request permission to remove all branches to just leave the main trunk. Over recent years the tree has been progressively later to come into leaf and earlier to lose its' leaves than the adjacent mature oak. This year the tree has not produced any leaves at all. A local tree surgeon, Tom from T's Trees has inspected the tree and does not believe the tree trunk to be hollow. Photo2 shows damage around the trunk, which may be related to the tree's death. This damage was there when the current owners moved in.
