Application overview
T1 Beech - remove epicormic growth on the primary and secondary stems and bring back from the street tree to leave 2 metres clearance. In Oct 2019 permission was granted to 19/3282/TC to reduce the overall size of the canopy back to previous points - height by 10 ft from 50ft to 40ft and width by 10ft from 40ft to 30ft. In January 2023 permission was granted to 22/4083/TC to thin the crown by 15% overall. We are just looking to clear up the growth in the centre of the tree as a result of this previous work and give the street tree nearby space to breathe.
