Tree Preservation Order - T1 Oak: Reduce the overall crown by approximately 1.5 metres and crown lift to approximately 4 metres. Remove deadwood and any branches identified as presenting a foreseeable safety risk. T2 Oak: Reduce the overall crown by approximately 1.5 metres. Remove deadwood and any branches identified as presenting a foreseeable safety risk. T3 Oak: Reduce the overall crown by approximately 1.5 metres.

Remove deadwood and any branches identified as presenting a foreseeable safety risk. T6 Oak: Reduce the overall crown by approximately 1.5 metres including the lateral branches overhanging the road. Remove deadwood and any branches identified as presenting a foreseeable safety risk. Reason for Proposed Works: The proposed works are intended to maintain the trees in a healthy, safe and appropriately managed condition whilst retaining their amenity and landscape value. The trees are becoming increasingly large in relation to their surroundings, and a moderate crown reduction is proposed to manage their size and maintain an appropriate form. The applicant values the trees and wishes to retain them for the long term. The proposed works are therefore intended as part of ongoing good arboricultural management rather than removal or excessive pruning. All works will be carried out in accordance with BS 3998:2010 Tree Work Recommendations and using appropriate arboricultural techniques.
