Re-pollard to previous pollarding points of one Norway maple (T1) situated within a conservation area. Re-pollard to established previous pruning points, maintaining the existing pollard framework. The tree has been pollarded on several previous occasions as part of an established management regime to control its size relative to its restricted garden location and proximity to neighbouring properties and structures. The proposed works represent a continuation of this established management practice, rather than a new or more severe intervention. The objective is to maintain the tree at a proportionate and manageable size, reduce the increasing size and loading of regrowth, and promote its long-term retention within the conservation area. All works will be undertaken in accordance with BS 3998:2010, with due consideration given to the preservation of the tree?s health, structural integrity and amenity value.
