Description of Approved Works

Tree ID 6295       Crown Lift: Remove one low branch growing at approximately 3 metres in height on the main trunk. Remove all epicormic growth up to 4 metres. Ivy Removal: Carefully remove all dead ivy from the trunk and major limbs, taking care not to damage the bark.  Dead Wooding: Remove a small amount of dead wood from the canopy.  Crown Thinning: Thin the upper crown by up to 10% to improve light penetration and reduce wind resistance. This should be done by selectively removing small, sub-dominant branches.

Tree ID 6297       Height Reduction: Reduce the height by 40%, to approximately 7 metres. Pruning should be made to suitable growth points wherever possible to maintain the tree's health and form.

Tree ID 6298     Crown Lift: Remove epicormic growth up to 3 metres on the main stem. Crown Thinning: Thin the upper crown by up to 10% to improve light penetration and reduce wind resistance. This should be done by selectively removing small, sub-dominant branches, and pruning cuts should be made to suitable growth points. The overall height and basic shape of the tree should be maintained.

Tree ID 6300       Dead Wooding: Remove dead wood as needed.  Crown Lift: Lift the lowest branches over the road by up to 1.5 metres to give a minimum of 5.2m clearance from ground level and to balance the crown.
