T1 Weeping Willow - Re-Pollard – Remove all secondary growth back to the previously established pollard points on the main scaffold limbs. G2 Crack Willow – Multi-stemmed tree comprising three primary stems - Re-Pollard – Remove all secondary growth back to the previously established pollard points on the main scaffold limbs. G3 Holly x2 - Fell to ground level in a safe and controlled manner. T4 London Plane - Pollard – Pollard the tree at a height of approximately 8 metres above ground level, making suitable finishing cuts to the primary and secondary scaffold limbs to establish a framework from which the tree can be managed as a pollard over the long term. Additionally, remove the two lowest secondary scaffold limbs back to the main stem to provide suitable clearance above the Yew archway. G5 Holly x2 - Fell to ground level in a safe and controlled manner. T7 English oak - Fell to ground level in a safe and controlled manner. Reasons for Works: T1 & G2 – The proposed works are in line with the previous management of these trees. The secondary regrowth has now established to a point where the likelihood of branch failure is increasing. The works are therefore recommended to maintain the trees within their established management cycle and reduce the likelihood of failure. G3 & G5 – These trees are in a state of decline and are heavily clad in Ivy, limiting their suitability for continued long-term retention. Removal is therefore recommended. T4 – This tree is situated centrally within a green archway formed by Yew trees on either side. The long-term management intention has been to allow the tree to establish before introducing it into a pollarding cycle. The proposed works will establish a suitable pollard framework, allowing the tree to be managed in this form over the long term while complementing its setting within the archway. T7 – The tree is situated on the roadside boundary and oversails both the public footway and carriageway. The tree is in a terminal state of decline, increasing the likelihood of branch or structural failure. Given its condition and proximity to frequently used targets, removal is recommended to manage the associated risk.
