Application overview
Mature beech tree on hillside within the conservation area of our garden - approx 60' height. Discussed with arborist (Gaz from Branch Off Tree Services) who advised that the tree is in good health but showing signs of stress at a fork about 7m high. The height also threatens a nearby barn, should it fall. He advised crown thinning up to 15%. I've also spoken on the phone to Jon Coe (PDNPA) - without seeing the tree, Jon thought this sounded like the sensible way forward. Mature ornamental Acer/Maple in main part of our lower garden within conservation area - approx 30' height - close proximity to a small barn - arborist advised crown reduction by up to 30%, keeping the same overall shape
