Application overview
Tree ID: T1 in the sketch plan Species: Apple (Malus domestica) Technical Specification: Crown reduction of one Apple tree (T1) by approximately 1.5-2 metres in height and 1.5 metres in lateral spread. All pruning will be carried out to suitable growth points (lateral branches) to maintain a natural, balanced canopy shape and preserve the tree's health. Reasons for Works: The tree has become overgrown for its location within the garden and is now also overhanging the neighbor’s fence, causing a maintenance issue. The proposed works are part of a routine management cycle to: -Contain the tree within its boundary and manage the encroachment over the neighboring property. -Maintain the tree’s structural integrity and aesthetic value within the Muswell Hill Conservation Area. -Prevent over-shading of the garden while ensuring the retention of flowering spurs for spring blossom.
