  Chestnut Tree on Northfields Lane. Tree T1 on sketch. Works requested: - Crown reduction by approximately 3 metres in height and 3 metres in lateral spread, resulting in a final height of around 14.92 metres (current height = approx. 17.92metres) and a final spread of around 11.66 metres (current spread = approx. 14.66 metres). - Crown thinning of up to 20%, evenly throughout the canopy, to reduce wind resistance and improve light penetration. - Selective pruning of long/heavy limbs to reduce weight and risk of branch failure, particularly on limbs overhanging public pathway, road and neighbouring property. - Removal of all significant deadwood throughout the crown in the interests of public safety. - All pruning cuts to be made back to suitable growth points to maintain the tree?s natural shape and structure. Reason for works: - A large limb (3 metres+) has recently broken from near the top of the tree, demonstrating the risk of further branch failure. I've attached photos of this. - The tree stands adjacent to, with limbs overhanging, public road, public footpath, my pathway and driveway to house, and neighbouring garden (there are young children who play in the garden) where falling branches could cause serious injury or damage. - The proposed works are intended to reduce the likelihood of future branch failures, while preserving the health and amenity value of the tree. This work would be carried out by an Arboricultural Association-approved contractor in accordance with BS3998:2010 Tree Work ? Recommendations.

  T1 - Holme Oak Quercus ilex There have been some very unprofessional pruning cuts over the roadside that need to be pruned back into pruning points or branch collar. Because of the bad pruning work the tree is now unbalanced. I would like to prune the SW facing branches back from the 2 adjacent buildings to bring into shape with the rest of the tree and reduce shade on the adjacent houses. Reduce south side by 2m - making cuts of 150mm or less. T3 - London plan Platanus x acerifolia This tree is in good health although children are climbing and using the low branches for a swing. I would like to crown lift to 2.5 metres to give more light and stop children potentially having an accident. T6 - Common Lime Tila x vulgaris This tree is in the communal gardens and is casting a lot of shade on the surrounding houses. I would like to crown lift by 2.5m from ground level to reduce the dark oppressive feel for the residents.
