  Riverside Park (East) Hutton Close Newbury

  013H - Silver Maple: A large limb split from the tree at the ground level and the exposed wood on the split limb and remaining stem shows extensive decay, the bark on the lower remaining stems is peeling and showing signs of bleed. The health of the upper crown is showing signs of decline. I would like to pollard the remaining stems down from their current height of 15-17 metres to around 4-5 metres; the width of the tree is around 15 metres wide. The hope is that we remove any further risk of splitting out stems and we remove the risk of stem failure to park users, and in time that we rejuvenate the tree and that it comes back healthy.

  I wish to apply to fell and dismantle the mature Cedar of Lebanon tree, known as tree icon 014J in the grounds of St Mary's Church yard, Shaw. The tree has had two significant and large limb rip outs over the last threee months from probalby included bark and acute branch collars, the remaining tree has several more significant limbs with similar branch collars and the concern is that additional limbs and branches are likely to fall over time. A well used footpath runs past the tree and this is used daily by children and adults. The tree now has two large decay points where the limbs ripped out from so these will be sites of pathogen ingress over time. The tree is around 15m in height and 10-12m in width, the hope is that the church plants a replacement tree elsewhere in the churchyard.

  Please see accompanying recommended works from Jenks tree surgeons. Relates to three purple plum trees. We intend to reduce each by 1-1.5m which will reduce remaining height to approximately 2.5-3m in order to bring the trees back into scale with their surroundings.
