Granted Conditions 9 docs -
Winchester Cathedral Offices 9 The Close Winchester Hampshire SO23 9LS
T1 Tilia x Europea TPO2344 Reduce each remaining stem back to the crown break union, as shown by the annotated red line in the associated photo. Reasons for Works: -The regrowth appeared relatively weak given the species and severity of the previous reduction - 2023 -Fungal brackets (Ganoderma australe) are present at the crown break. There are significantly more fungal brackets present than 2 years ago (8 in 2023). -Estimated that approximately 40 fungal brackets are currently present, although only a proportion are visible from ground level. -Poor compartmentalisation of Lime trees under attack from Ganoderma - tree is not defending well. -The risk of failure at the crown break is likely despite the current bracing in place.?Considering the high occupancy of the surrounding area, any injury or damage resulting from failure could be deemed as reasonably foreseeable.?
