Council sourcex2 English Oaks (Quercus Roburs) approx. 10 meters tall and approx. 2 meters apart creating a singular full crown in the front of the property - (1) removal of all deadwood in trees and (2) approx. 2/3 meter reductions, cutting to appropriate branch axis in accordance with BS3998 and leaving as much leaf bearing growth as possible. The reason for suggested works is (a) their close proximity to homes, the road, driveway and cars, (b) cracks are appearing in the driveway and road due to the ever increasing root system, (c) raised curbs are being pushed out and dislodged (d) safety to the public and property, (e) prevention of damage to property, cars parked on the driveway and cars parked roadside, (f) abnormal amount of dead wooding tress, (g) major stag heading in crown, (h) excessive amount of sap during summer months attracting large swarms of wasps around cars on driveway and patio area which severely hinders access in and out of vehicles and prevents residents from being able to sit in the garden.
