Application overview
T1 Copper Beech Prominent tree situated at front of property. Previously reduced in 2021 following tree report and QTRA recommendations for crown reduction due to large cavity in main stem. Significant regrowth since then. Work proposed to reduce encroachment on the building, and give good clearance over the pavement and the road. 1 • Reduce away from the house to give 2 metres clearance. 2 • Crown raise the canopy appropriately, to a height of approximately 4 metres from the ground level to give good clearance from the road. 3 • Crown reduce the tree sensitively by approximately 1.5 metres, back to suitable pruning points and leaving a balanced crown.
