View council mapMature Evergreen Oak - 15m tall with 3x stems 70cm diameter, the southern stem is growing at an angle of 40 degrees from the horizontal and overhangs a verge and parking area by 9m, it is splitting away from the other stems evidenced by a 3cm wide split in the fork at the base and a 1.5m gap in the canopy (see attached report for photographs). The proposal is to reduce the southern stem to branch junctions at 6m to 8m height and to reduce its spread to the south by 3m. The tree supports a rookery so work to be done once they have finished nesting.
