Ruskin Walk, 38

Proposal:

Species and Location of Trees

T1.          A Weeping Birch tree approximately 3m in height, situated in the bottom left-hand corner of the rear garden.  The tree is a little out of shape.

T2.          A Purple Plum tree approximately 4.5m in height, situated in the small front garden.  The tree is a little dense and wide spreading.

Description of Approved Works

T1.          Lightly thin by 10% including the reduction of small vertical branches in the upper crown in order to retain the weeping shape of the tree.

T2.          Crown thin by 20% including the removal of dead wood and water shoots, and necessary shortening of long lateral branches encroaching towards the house and road.  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.  Branches obstructing telephone lines through the upper canopy should be trimmed back as necessary.
