  G1 Monterey cypress crown reduction only on the north side, 3 metres in the lower outer crown, 2 metres in the mid outer crown, and up to 1 metre in the upper outer crown, with final cuts not exceeding 50 mm. Breakage occurs within the affected tree crown parts, and G1 is constantly subjected to tensile loads on the opposite side of the compression, as the group is positioned on the windward side of the applied force. G1 targets the house to the north, and there are no restrictions for parking on Douglas Avenue.

  Proposed Works: Crown lift T1 Lime Tree (Tilia spp.) to 5.2 metres above ground level. Justification: The proposed crown lift is necessary to provide safe and unobstructed clearance for vehicles and pedestrians in accordance with industry and highway standards. The lower branches currently restrict access and visibility, creating potential safety concerns. Raising the crown to 5.2 m will also increase the amount of winter sunlight reaching the garden, enhancing light levels and overall amenity. The work will be carried out sensitively, removing primary and secondary growth as required, to maintain the tree's health, structural integrity, and aesthetic form. This management approach represents good arboricultural practice and will reduce the need for more significant interventions in the future.
