Establishment of a clearance zone of 3 m between the outer canopy of the tree and the built form elevations of 24 St Thomas Street (this is the northern aspect of the canopy) ? 3 ? Crown raise the canopy to establish a minimum height of 6m above ground clearance (existing garden level) cutting tertiary growth and no pruning wounds in excess of 75mm diameter. ? 4 ? Establishment of a clearance zone of 3 m between the outer canopy of the tree and the garage roof and Irish yew and cherry trees within the garden (this is to the southern aspect of the tree canopy). ? 5 - Crown Crown reduce overall canopy extents (height and spread) by up to 2 m. ? 6 - Removal of lowest lateral on western side of crown (15cm diameter) ? 7 - Removal of lowest lateral on southern side of crown ? 8 - Removal of any encountered decay wood with diameters in excess of 50mm. ? 9 - Undertake a full aerial inspection.
