  T1 Beech - Reduce in height from 30m to 20m from ground level shaping sympathetically into laterals including a further lateral reduction of the major limb oversailing the corner of the house by 3-4m (consider installing second cobra-brace on this limb), 10% crown thin remaining crown and remove Deadwood. Works to rebalance weighting and wind loading of crown following significant limb failure. The tree is an enormous beech tree. A huge limb came off last week on Wednesday night. All the weight on the tree is now very one sided, which makes it dangerous. The weight of the tree is also now on the side of The Old Vicarage and if any further limbs fall off, there is a risk of serious damage to the house and to anyone thats inside it. In order to save the tree, we would like to reduce the whole canopy by one third. The tree is approximately 30m high and we would like to reduce the whole crown to 20m above ground level. This would rebalance the tree and hopefully prevent any further damage. The garden is sometimes open to the public and I am a full time gardener that often has to work under and around this tree, therefore we need to make it safe as a matter of urgency. We have had advice from a tree surgeon and these are the measures he suggested.

  T1 - Young Oak T2 - Mature Walnut T3 - Small fruit tree & small ornamental tree T4 - Horse Chestnut Under the agreed planning permission (P14/V2250/FUL) a number of existing trees are to be removed. This has already taken place. (Removed trees are ringed in brown on Plan A). Having removed these trees I have now identified a number of other trees which I wish to remove, these are ringed and identified in blue on Plan B. I propose to plant a series of other trees to replace those removed. These are marked on Plan B in green. Plan B - proposed trees to be taken out: A - Young Oak - a line of beech trees adjacent to the land were recently removed, the planning approval requires trees of low water usage to be planted along this boundary. B - Mature Walnut - this tree ahas blown over and is lying at 45 degrees and resting on the top boundary hedge. C - Small Fruit tree and small Ornamental tree - I would like to remove these to provide room to plant a row of fruit trees. D - Now that other trees have been removed, I can see that there is a rogue Horse Chestnut growing along the line of ornamental trees on this boundary. Its removal will not cause a gap as it is currently forcing its way up between the original planted trees. Plan B - proposed planting. 1 - row of flowering cherries 3-5 trees depending on their spread. 2 - row of 3-5 fruit trees depending on their spread and shading of mature Lime trees on Church Lane boundary. A mixture from apple, pear and plum. Remarks:
