Works: Trees
Still open. Anyone can comment while the consultation period runs, and comments go to the council rather than to us.
Proposal
T10 22/02 common ash 20.0 m height Reduce to about 13m in height. This will entail making cuts of around 150mm in diameter. Where possible the cuts should be made to suitable side growth, but it is appreciated that growth at least a third of the diameter of the parent branch may not be available. Reduce in spread to 12m.
