Application overview
EL:186 - Oak Tree - Crown Reduction and Light Improvement. The oak tree located within a heavily shaded rear garden adjacent to a woodland is now overhanging a neighbouring garden, contributing to significant shading and loss of natural light to both the client's and neighbouring properties. To improve light and manage future growth, the tree will be sympathetically crown reduced by approximately 1.5 metres across the upper and lateral canopy, with an additional 10% crown thin to allow increased light while retaining the tree's natural form, structural integrity, and overall vitality.
