- P24/S1255/TCAT1 - Leyland Cypress Observations - This tree is located within close proximity to the client's home. It is a large tree with a large spread, however the branches are beginning to touch the building nearest to its location. This tree is growing too large for it's location and pruning is essential for retaining it and preventing building damage. Recommendations - Crown reduction; reducing the height and spread of the tree by up to 2 metres.No obj CA works0application · Linked by the council
- P24/S1704/TCAT2 - Willow - Observations: This is a well established tree set among an area with numerous other large trees, which hang over the river. The area is well walked, and often has children playing in its surroundings. It has several large splits within large limbs, as well as a tears at all major unions. The tree is in an overall unhealthy condition and poses a health and safety risk. Recommendations: Remove limbs with large splits for health and safety, top tree to just below large tear to reduce weight in the crown and prevent future failure. Dead wooding will also be conducted to promote good maintenance and remove the risk of large dead limbs falling.No obj CA works0application · Linked by the council

- P26/S1227/TCAT3 & T4 Weeping willow x2 Observations: These trees are asymmetrical and present visible structural damage. There are several overextending lateral limbs which contributes to the trees overall poor form. Selective maintenance required to encourage better growth and bring back into a suitable formation. Recommendations: Remove deadwood and twisted, fallen and damaged branches. Shorten any over extended lateral branches by up to 3m to reduce the risk of further failures.No obj CA works0application · Linked by the council
- P26/S3982/TCAT1 Horse Chestnut Twin stemmed from 4 metres Stem overhanging the drive has had a large limb fail due to a poor branch attachment with some decaying material present. The wound has revealed further decay of the stem from where it came. The growth above this wound is significant and very likely to fail at some point but is likely to be extremely vulnerable during weather events as we move into the Autumn / Winter period. We recommend reducing this stem to sound the wood below the damaged and decayed area, and reduce the remainder of tree to the same height by approximately 8 metres.
