Council source[T1] Holly (Ilex aquifolium) Tree pruning left for sometime and canopy size has greatly exceeded space. To safeguard the integrity of the buildings and permanent structures following work is proposed. Prune for 1.5m clearance from building and roofline then taking an equal amount from all sides to retain the oval or round shape. I would like to reduce the height to approximately 0.5m below the bay tree and hedge line adjacent. There is one leader that will see most significant reduction. This is so when the tree regenerates we can keep it hedge trimmed to an oval at similar height to his neighbours. [T2] Dead Tree (species unknown) To safeguard residents the following work is proposed.Sectional dismantle and fell tree to ground level. Chainsaw stump to approximately 1-3? above soil level.Remove all arisings[T3] Hawthorne (Crataegus monogyna) -Juvenile tree, for good Arboricultural practice the following work is suggested. Formal pruning to establish crown shape for future maintenance.Remove all arisings
