Application to reduce the canopy of a Beech tree (T1) by up to 2m on the east, south, and west sides, with an option for a full crown reduction of 30%. Also, reduce the canopy of a Lime tree (T2) by 20% or up to 2m on all sides to manage size and safety concerns.
Proposal as recorded
T1 Beech - Canopy to be reduced east and south side by up to 2m in length, west side of canopy to be reduced by up to 2m. All pruning to be done to a suitable union in line with BS3998. There is the option to do a full crown reduction of 30% reducing branches on all sides. Where most will be pruned by up to 2m there are some branches that may need up to 3m removed. T2 Lime - Canopy to be reduced by 20% or up to 2m on all sides to a suitable union, in line with BS3998 to reduce wind sail and draw back branches that over hang decked area causing it to be unusable due to residue causing it to be a slip hazard, owner wants to retain tree but at the same time finds it a constant worry due to the size, that along with wanting to maintain the tree to allow more light into neighbouring properties. Also the tree is causing concern for the applicant of damage to property in the event of failure and to be pruned to a manageable and safe size would be the best option to retain the tree as in the event of major mechanical overload it could result in the full tree needing to be removed
