Application overview
T1 Horse Chestnut - Crown Reduction - Reduce the height and spread of the tree by up to 1.5 metres, approximately back to just outside the previous pruning points. Reduce the subdominant limb extending towards the property by up to 2 metres, back to just inside the previous pruning cuts. Crown lift to 4.5 metres above ground level by selectively removing lower branch tips. All works to ensure a natural, well-balanced crown. Reasons for works: The reason for the reduction is to manage the tree in line with the precedent previously set. However, the slightly more aggressive reduction of the subdominant limb on this occasion is intended to prolong the interval before further re-reduction is required and to create greater separation between the property and the tree, without compromising the tree's form or structural integrity.
