Understand planning application documents, officer reports and decision notices. Use a reading checklist, document table and worked example to inspect a case.
Application overview
T1 Ash Tree: Remove lowest dog shape legged branch on Northern Side of canopy. Branch is heavily droopping down over the lawn area with only foliage on the tips, so creating a leverage and risk of failure. There are limited growth points so best option is removal, final pruning wound would have a diameter of roughly 200mm (West Horsley Cons Area)
