REAR: TWO Lime (T1 & T3)(ht.12m) RE-POLLARD HEIGHT by 2m from 12m to 10m to previous pollard points, REDUCE SPREAD by 1m from 3m to 2m, CROWN THIN by 25%.Reason: regularly pollarded lime trees since 2005, repeat pollard reduction on all laterals and verticals, as part of regular maintenance. REAR: ONE Lime (T2)(ht.10m) FELL.Reason: previous pollard, suppressed by T1 & T3 by lack of light, to benefit growth of surrounding trees & shrubs. Informative A: huge thank you for repeat management to retain T1 & T3 for rear amenity, urban forest canopy benefits, wildlife, shade to reduce increasingly high summer temperatures due to climate change, reducing air pollution, mitigating flood risk. Informative B: replacement tree planting for T2 is encouraged elsewhere in the rear garden with such as hawthorn, elder, crab apple, Amelanchier, Paperbark maple, Magnolia Kobus. Informative C: the Bat Conservation Trust advises checking thoroughly for roosting bats before and during tree works with soft fell process followed to proceed with care and with cut timber left grounded over night to allow any bats to make their way out, tree works ideally during Sept/Oct to avoid maternity and hibernation seasons when bats are most vulnerable to disturbance. Informative D: please leave a safe high stump and create habitat log piles with arisings for wildlife and biodiversity.
