Tree Preservation Order - EL:11/12 - English Oak Rear Garden: The tree is a mature specimen exhibiting characteristics consistent with advanced age and historic weather-related damage. Evidence of previous branch failure is present throughout the crown. In view of the compromised branch structure and historic limb loss, crown management works are recommended to reduce sail effect and mitigate the risk of future branch failure. Reduce overall crown height and spread by 2m, to reduce the sail area, and target the outer extremities of the crown, where historic failures are evident, leaving a sympathetic form of a flowing branch lines and natural crown shape. Remove dead branches throughout the crown area that are over 4.5cm in diameter, and inspect the crown for any adversities. Retain large standing deadwood if safe.
