  T1 - Beech - Crown lift by approximately 2 metres removing up to 30 minor secondary branches to provide clearnance while retaining a natural and balanced form. T2 - Beech - Lateral reduction of the crown by 1-2 metres to leave an approximate final spread of 6 metres with all pruning cuts made back to suitable growth points. T3 - Holm Oak - Lateral crown reduction by up to 1 metre leaving an approximate final spread of 5 metres, maintaining natural shape and tree health. Justification for proposed works. T1 - Beech - The tree has developed low-hanging branches with excessive lateral weight increasing the risk of branch failure. A minor crown lift will help reduce loading stress while improving clearance and maintaining tree health and form. The proposed works are proportional and preventative. T2 - Beech - The crown is growing in close proximity to the building with lateral spread approaching the structure. Selective lateral reduction will prevent future conflict with the property, minimise risk of damage and maintain a safe management distance while retaining the tree's natural shape. T3 - Holm Oak - This tree is also spreading toward the building and requires a light lateral reduction to prevent obstruction and potential contact with the structure. The work is preventative and intended to avoid future damage, shading and maintenance issues. All works are minimal, sympathetic and designed to retain natural form while preventing future structural or safety-related issues. The works are considered appropriate tree management rather than aesthetic alteration.

  PLEASE NOTE - TREE NUMBERS RELATE TO ASPECT TREE CONSULTANCY PLAN (03972 TLP), NOT TO NUMBER ON TPO SCHEDULE T1 ? Monterey cypress: Crown spread SE to 4m above ground level. Remains of eastern stem present, decayed but of limited significance. Crown lift on eastern side of tree removing: 1) Two lowest branches 100mm in diameter originating at 4m and 4.5m above ground level. 2) NE primary limb originating at 4.5m above ground level - remove two lowest secondary branches originating at 1m from base of the branch (the lowest one has a split 2m from trunk and the other is 20cm above it). 3) NE Primary limb, secondary branch growing east 1m from trunk 100mm in diameter and tertiary branches growing east up to 5m above ground level from underside of branch. 4) Remove lowest branch N growing in a NNW direction toward house, which is over the roof of the extension, originating at 6.5m above ground level from second lowest primary branch, maximum 100mm in diameter. 5) Tertiary branches SW at 4.5m above ground level 50mm in diameter. All pruning is in accordance with BS3998 and relates to less than 5 to 8% of total crown volume. Reasons: To provide reasonable clearance of the house, garden, ancillary structures and the neighbouring property. The works accord with BS 3998 2010 Tree Work - Recommendations and the extent of foliage / bud removal do not exceed national guidance. The trees physiological condition is good, and the works will not lead to decline in the tree?s health. The size of pruning cuts will not allow heartwood decay to develop. The works will not affect the trees visual amenity value. T2 Lime: Crown lift and/or crown reduce to include: 1) Crown lift to 4m above ground level removing tertiary and secondary branches only and maximum 75mm in diameter (some parent branches are 100mm but prune back to nearest growth point at 75mm in diameter) up to 5m above ground level. 2) Reduce lowest primary east originating at 4m above ground level by 4m f...
