Remove major deadwood >50mm diameter. x 1 Lime (T3) - Crown reduce in height by up to 1.5m and lateral spread by 2-2.5m. Remove dead lateral branch overhanging carriageway at approx. 6m to southwest- Reason: To re balance the crown and mitigate end weight loading on overextended laterals.x 1 Lime (T4) - Fell to ground level; stump to remain.x 1 Lime (T6) - Crown reduce height and spread by 2.5m to reduce wind-loading on unions at 4m height and mitigate end-weight loading on over-extended lateral branches. Remove major deadwood >50mm dia. x 1 Lime (T7) - Crown reduce in height and spread by 2.5m to all points - Reason: Reduce wind-loading on old pollard points. x 1 Lime (T8) - Crown reduce lateral spread by 1.5m to mitigate lateral crown imbalance and remove ivy from crown. x 1 Corsican Pine (T9) - Reduce length of larger lateral branch originating at 5.5m by 1m and spread of smaller lateral originating at 3.5m by 1.5m - Reason: To mitigate wind loading stresses at contact point between both laterals at 6m. x 1 Corsican Pine (T10) - Remove failed branch at 11m. x 1 Lime (T11) - Reduce crown height and spread by up to 2.5m to mitigate wind loading on included unions. Install dynamic bracing system, between southern and eastern stem, and between eastern and northern stem. x 1 Lime (T12) - Crown reduce height and lateral spread by up to 2.5m - Reason: To mitigate wind loading stresses on main union at ground level. x 1 Lime (T14) - Reduce all lateral spread by up to 2.5m - Reason: To mitigate crown imbalance. x 1 Lime (T15) - Crown reduce height by up to 2m and lateral spread by 2.5m - Reason: To mitigate wind-loading stresses on unions at 4m. Reason for all: Maintain trees to their environment and minimise risk and nuisance to adjacent footpath and carriageway
