Proposal as recorded
Tree 34 and 43 - Common Lime - Avenue of trees flanking the existing drive to the property all previously pollarded at 4m in the past and on a regular basis thereafter. It has been some time since the limes were pollarded and the regrowth is attaining proportions where it is liable to separation from the pollard point. Mindful of the residents moving in to the retirement apartments it would be prudent to undertake the re-pollarding of these trees in advance. The trees can then regrow in the coming years and be placed on a regular cycle of the re-pollarding at circa 5 and 10 year intervals subject to their rate of growth. Action - Re-pollard to previous pollard points to circa 4m above ground level. Pollard knuckles shall be retained in accordance with best practice laid out in BS3998:2010: Tree Works - Recommendations.
