Tree works
What is being proposed?
Consent was granted under application reference AT/2023/0123; however, the approved tree works were not undertaken. A new application is therefore being submitted. T1 ? Lime: Pollard to the specified height to manage the risk associated with extensive decay and hollowing within the lower stem. Mallet sounding indicates that the hollow extends approximately 750 mm above the uppermost visible cavity. T2 ? Western red cedar: Fell to ground level due to its poor physiological and structural condition following historically inappropriate and excessively severe pruning. The previous pruning does not accord with current good arboricultural practice as set out in BS 3998:2010 and has left the tree with limited potential for satisfactory long-term retention. The tree has limited visibility from public vantage points, and its removal would therefore have little effect on the area's wider visual amenity. T3 ? Oak: Reduce the crown to suitable growth points near the former pollard points, retaining adequate live growth wherever practicable. The work is required to reduce crown dimensions and associated mechanical loading because the tree occupies a confined position immediately adjacent to a boundary wall. The crown is markedly asymmetrical due to suppression and shading from taller neighbouring trees.
