  T1 - Holm Oak Recommended works: Establish a pollard framework by removing the three substantial lateral branches at the positions indicated by the red markings in Photograph 3. The proposed works are intended to reduce the extensive lateral crown and associated mechanical loading from the tree's pronounced lean, while retaining the tree. Cyclical management: Following establishment, implement a seven-year cyclical pollarding regime to manage regrowth, control crown size, and limit excessive loading on the retained framework. Inspect the developing pollard heads periodically, particularly during the initial establishment period, to assess shoot attachment, structural condition and physiological response. All works should be undertaken in accordance with BS 3998:2010, subject to confirmation that the proposed cutting positions and degree of crown removal are appropriate following an on-site assessment. The seven-year interval is the proposed management objective and should be reviewed based on the tree's regrowth and structural condition.

  T1- beech tree- fell- the trees spacial relationship with house is to be considered unacceptable this is due to the larger specimen oak surpressing it and forcing it to grow towards the roof. the trees overall condition isn't great and the tree is considered low value especially when compared to the oak. their is strong evidence of squirrel damage throughout the crown of the tree. we would propose replanting in a different area of the garden away from the oak. the trees amenity value is considerably low and Dosent provide any high value to the landscape, the tree is not of value to anyone else and is posing poor conditions for the client.

  T0068- Turkey Oak- the tree has not been managed in previous years and very minimal pruning has been carried out this leaving the tree with a very large canopy circumference in a small area causing an issue for the residents and the elderly visitors of this property. The tree dominates the garden and driveway and dosent leave much room free. I am applying to Crown reduce by 2 meters over the house laterally and reduce the opposing side by up to 3 meters reducing the tree in height by 1.5m , these works are minimal and will have very little detrimental affects on the trees health and will also have minimal impacts on the trees value within the overall landscape. These works are crucial for the property owner and carrying out these works will provide the home owner and his with a tremendous gain and will allow them to use their garden and driveway much more proactively. please see my survey for further evidence and reasons.
