Attachment to Email: email_msg_34855.pdfPlanning conditions
- T13, T14 Oak (TPO no.300) - Pruning of roots to facilitate re-laying of existing block paving on front driveway. Roots smaller than 25mm may be pruned back, making a clean cut with a suitable sharp tool (e.g. bypass secateurs or handsaw). Roots occuring in clumps or of 25mm diameter and over should be severed only following consultation with an arboriculturist, as such roots might be essential to the tree's health and stability. Prior to backfilling, retained roots should be surrounded with topsoil or uncompacted sharp sand. Works to be supervised by the consulting arboriculturist.
