Council planning record

T2 Horse Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum): H16/S12m. Reduce 2?3m (30%) to prior points; remove all epicormic growth to crown break. Finish H13?14/S9?10m. Dense poorly attached regrowth is failure-prone. Restores structure, reduces end-weight and retains managed size and health/amenity.T5 Cherry Plum (Prunus cerasifera): H8/S6m. Reduce 2?3m (30%); remove epicormic growth to crown break. Finish H6/S4m. Dense regrowth has created a congested/poorly structured crown. Restores balance and reduces wind load/end-weight.T8 Black Mulberry (Morus nigra): H7 S8m. Sensitively reduce laterals 1?2m (20%) to clear lawn/roadside. Finish H6?7/S6?7m; clearance 2.5?3m. Minimal pruning retains characteristic low spreading gnarled form, amenity and heritage value.T13 London Plane (Platanus � hispanica): H18 S14m. Reduce 3 to 4m (30%); 2.5m clearance from buildings/walls; thin 20%; removedead/rubbing/crossing branches. Finish H14 15/S9 10m. Crown encroaches on structures, risking wall/gutter/roof damage and restricting light. Reduction/clearance restores separation; thinning improves light/reduces wind load; removing defective growth reduces decay risk/improves structure. Retains vigour/significant amenity.
