Works Specification Summary T001, T002 and T004 Reduce the previously reduced/heavily reduced branches back to the previous pruning points, and to reduce the remaining crown by approximately 2m-3m to match and stabilise deadwood. The purpose of the works is to reduce crown loading, manage foreseeable branch failure risk and support the continued retention of the trees. Final pruning cuts, retained growth points and the extent of reduction should be determined on site by a competent arboricultural contractor, working to the supplied specification and BS3998. T003 and T005 Undertake selective branch reduction only, as illustrated in the supporting photographs. Works should only target identified branches that have outgrown the generally regarded outline of the canopy. These branches are displaying features comparable to those associated with the recent major branch failure within the linear group. The works should be limited to the minimum necessary to reduce foreseeable risk while retaining the overall form, canopy function and amenity value of the trees. All pruning works should be undertaken in accordance with BS3998 by a suitably competent and insured arboricultural contractor.

The selective branch reductions are recommended due to features such as splits and dysfunctional areas of primary branches located over high use areas. The school’s preferred outcome remains the retention and responsible management of the trees, while reducing foreseeable
