Description of Approved Works

T1.          Removal of one low branch over the public footpath, and the removal of previously cut snag end branches in the lower canopy by severing at the main trunk.  The tree should also be crown thinned by 20% including the removal of dead wood and necessary re-shaping.  The height and basic shape should be retained.  It is important to prune branches at convenient growth points, rather than an all-round reduction or pollarding which is not permitted.

T2.          Remove and the stump ground out.

T3.          Reduce in height to 2.5m and re-shape as necessary.

T4.          Crown thin by 20% and branches encroaching over the garden trimmed back to convenient growth points.

T5.          Lightly thin by 15% including the removal of dead wood and necessary re-shaping.  The height and basic shape should be retained.

T6.          Crown thin by 20% and branches encroaching over the garden trimmed back to convenient growth points.
