Council sourceWorks to Trees within TPO specifically - T1 Sycamore - crown lift of 8-10m which will remove 3-4 large long laterals towards the house and over the structure. T2- Sycamore - Previous crown lifting created epicormic growth so removal of this up the stem then a 2-3m reduction of branches overhanging the garden in response to the failed ash tree located next to this. T3- oak- a smaller suppressed tree with previous pruning work creating epicormic growth up the stem. Removal of this required. T4- sweet chestnut- a mature tree located at the bottom of the garden and also woodland edge. The tree is overhanging a considerable amount and requires a 3+m side reduction over the garden and epicormic grown removal off the stem to reduce and weight and prevent future failures.
