Council sourceT3- Cherry Fell to ground level to facilitate crane access to remove the mast tower and replace with another.T4- Field Maple Fell to ground level to facilitate crane access to remove the mast tower and replace with another. T6- Beech Crown reduction to finished crown dimensions of height 10m above ground level and 5.0m crown radius measured from the tree stem. Removing up to 2m of growth from the height and radial spread all round. To facilitate crane access to the mast tower. T7- Ash Reduce Lateral Limbs to the east by 1.5m to facilitate crane access to the mast tower. The work requires the client to situate a 60m crane on the A278 Hoath Way (heading Gillingham bound) to enable them to remove the existing mast and replace with a new one in a different location within the compound. In order to facilitate this some of the trees need to be pruned/ removed in order to establish and safe working area and ensure clearance for the crane movements.
