T1 The Magnolia is situated within a very restricted residential garden, where the crown occupies a substantial proportion of the available space. The proposed works are repeat cyclical crown management, following previously approved works under AT 2020 0248 rather than a new or substantially different intervention. T1 Magnolia - proposed works Undertake a selective crown reduction, shortening branches by up to 1.5 metres from the existing crown tips across the upper and lateral crown, pruning to suitable live lateral branches while retaining a balanced crown form and adequate foliage. Avoid topping and indiscriminate cutting. Carry out the works in accordance with BS 3998 2010.Management intention - Review the crown at approximately five year intervals, with further pruning subject to the trees condition, regrowth and any notification or consent requirements applicable at that time.This approach will enable the Magnolia to be retained successfully within its restricted garden setting and will maintain its contribution to the character and amenity of the Conservation Area.
