View council map02/2/73 T1 - Cedar - Remove the partially split and storm-damaged branch by pruning it back to the supporting union. This accords with BS3998:2010, which recommends the removal of defective or weakened branches where they present a foreseeable risk of failure. Reduce the extended branch over the garden by cutting it back to a suitable secondary growth point. This is consistent with BS3998:2010 guidance on crown reduction, ensuring that pruning cuts are made to appropriate laterals to maintain natural form, limit exposure, and reduce the likelihood of future structural imbalance.T2 - Ash - Side reduce on garden side of number 42 by no more than 2m, removing material no greater than 25mm in diameter. Remove deadwood throughout the crown (exempt from notification) to reduce the risk of branch drop and maintain safe site use.T3 Beech - Cut back the crown to provide a clearance of up to 3m from the roofline, selectively reducing only those branches that directly encroach on the structure. Pruning cuts will be made to suitable secondary growth points in accordance with BS3998:2010, maintaining natural form and avoiding excessive exposure of the remaining crown.
