Tree Preservation Order EL:13/15 - T1 - Beech - Crown reduce the tree by up to 2 metres in height and lateral spread, pruning back to suitable secondary growth points to retain a balanced, natural and flowing crown form. The objective of the proposed crown reduction is to reduce end weight and mechanical loading on the primary scaffold limbs. The recommendation follows a recent limb failure from the tree, which resulted in damage to the neighbouring property's roof and a parked vehicle. Due to the tree's position directly over the neighbouring dwelling, adjacent public footpath and roadside, reducing the overall sail area and end weight will help to lower the likelihood of future branch failures while retaining the tree's visual amenity and long-term health. Upon completion, the tree will retain a natural, balanced and flowing crown, consistent with the species' typical form. All pruning works shall be carried out in accordance with BS3998:2010. Tree Work Recommendations, with maximum pruning wound diameters not exceeding 50mm, except where necessary to remove dead, damaged or defective branches.
