T22. 1x- Common Hawthorn - Severe and remove ivy to a height of 1m above ground level. T9 1x Scot's Pine - Tree exhibits good overall vitality. There is a slight lean toward the north-east (NE). The north-eastern aspect of the crown features two fused branches, which has resulted in elongated lateral growth extending beyond the main canopy. These branches may present a structural concern due to potential included bark or risk of failure under load. The north eastern canopy aspect is to be reduced from approximately 6m to 4.5m in canopy spread back to suitable pruning points not exceeds 25mm in diameter. Please see attached QTRA report for the justification of the above tree works.
