Amendment to proposed works (received 07.07.2026):T1; Oak (Quercus robur) (located on driveway) - Crown clean by removing all deadwood, epicormic growth and crossing branches, promoting a healthy canopy. The remaining tree is to be pruned away from all overhead BT lines that are running through the canopy by a 10% canopy thin.Reason: Promote healthy canopy and clear BT lines.T2; Oak (Quercus robur) - Remove to ground level due.Reason: Poor growth structure. Removing this will promote growth in surrounding, more established oaks by giving them more space and access to light.T3; Multi stem Silver Birch (Betula pendula) - Dismantle to ground level.Reason: Growing into nearby oaks causing them to compete for light and space, preventing them from maturing. T4; Large Oak (Quercus robur) - Crown raised by 2 metres to create a canopy and trunk. The remaining canopy reduced by 20% from branch tips to create a balanced tree shape and remove the movement in the wind. A further 10% reduced by thinning of dead wood, epicormic growth, and crossing branches.Reason: To allow light & wind to pass through the canopy and improving tree health.
