  T1 Turkey oak Quercus cerris This tree is almost dead and has not been leafing out for the last 2 growing seasons. I would like to dismantle to ground level. It is situated in a shared garden and could start to shedding limbs in the communal area posing a risk. The condition of the branches will rapidly decline. Delayed removal will involve increased risk when climbing to dismantle the tree. There has been a survey done on the tree by Aspect Tree Consultancy, please let me know if you would like a copy.

  We are seeking permission to reduce the height of the tree to the level that it has previously been trimmed and to remove a couple of branches that have died, we have had a couple of branches break off during high winds, reducing the height should eliminate this problem and also remove the risk of damage to overhead cables that pass across our property and are currently below one or two of the trees branches.

  T001- Pine Proposed Works: Reduce the western (left-hand) lateral crown by approximately 2.0-2.5 metres back to suitable secondary growth to reduce end weight and rebalance the crown whilst retaining the tree's natural form. Remove the single lower lateral limb overhanging the garden (approximately 200mm diameter at the point of removal). Remove any dead, damaged or broken branches encountered during the works. All pruning to be undertaken in accordance with BS3998:2010 - Tree Work - Recommendations. Reason for Works: To reduce the dominance and leverage of the extended lateral limb, improve crown balance and lessen the visual impact over the garden whilst retaining the tree as a significant landscape feature. The removal of the lower limb will improve clearance beneath the canopy and facilitate ongoing garden use and maintenance. The proposed works represent routine arboricultural management and are not intended to adversely affect the long-term health or amenity value of the tree.

  T001 - 1x Mature Holm Oak Reduce the height of 1x Primary stem by approximately 6.0 metres, leaving a final height of the stem at approximately 12 metres. Radial crown spread to remain un-affected at all compass points. All works shall retain the tree's main framework and natural form, maintaining a high proportion of the foliage-bearing structure. All final pruning cuts shall be made at suitable growth points in accordance with BS 3998:2010 Tree Work - Recommendations. Individual pruning wounds shall not exceed 100 mm in diameter & pruning cuts made at suitable growth points in accordance with BS 39982010 Tree Work - Recommendations. 1x Primary stem exhibiting a large tear at the union - Sectionally dismantle back to the first suitable primary union to reduce the risk of failure while retaining the remaining tree structure where practicable. Works are specified to reduce weight loading and sail area on the affected stem whilst retaining a balanced and structurally appropriate crown form. Area Tree Preservation Order & Conservation Area Justification The proposed works relate to 1x Mature Holm Oak (Quercus ilex) identified as T001. The tree forms a prominent landscape feature, and the proposed works have been carefully specified to retain the tree's overall amenity contribution, natural form, and long-term viability whilst addressing identified structural concerns within the crown structure. Arboricultural justification- One primary stem is exhibiting a significant tear and structural weakness at the union, increasing the likelihood of stem failure under continued wind loading and canopy weight. The proposed reduction and partial dismantling works are therefore considered necessary on arboricultural and safety grounds in order to reduce mechanical stress, weight loading, and sail area acting upon the affected stem which in turn will increase the likelihood of whole stem failure. The proposed works comprise the reduction in height of the affected primary
