Application overview
T1 False Acacia (21/T23) - The tree exhibits a noticeable lean, and the lower branches have a heavy end weight, which poses concerns regarding its stability and safety.Proposed Works:We are seeking permission to undertake the following works to maintain the health and safety of the False Acacia tree:1. Canopy Reduction:- Reduce the canopy by up to 3 metres. This reduction aims to alleviate the heavy weight on the branches, promoting a more balanced shape and reducing the risk of branch failure.2. **Lifting of Lower Branches**- Raise the lower branches to a height of 5 metres to give good clearance underneath of the Tree and also create a more balanced shape and reduce sail effect.
