Planning Activity
- PendingP2026/2907/TRET1: Robinia (Robinia pseudoacacia) - Reduce the overall crown height and lateral spread by approximately 2 metres, selectively pruning back to suitable live growth points. Carefully reshape and balance the remaining canopy to achieve a uniform, well-proportioned finish, retaining healthy furnishing growth on all aspects of the crown. Particular care is to be taken to maintain the tree's natural character and established branch structure, avoiding excessive pruning or unnecessary internal thinning. Reason for works: General tree maintenance, allowing more light into the property.
- PendingP2026/2894/TREMy client would like to reduce a Sycamore (T1) by removing 4m branch length. Their reason is to maintain it's size in relation to the small garden and space it is growing in.
- PendingP2026/2713/TRET1 - Sycamore Stem diameter at 1.5m above ground level was measured as 640mm. Crown is heavily asymmetrical following the northern side overhang being completely removed by the neighbour back to the boundary line, Crown overhangs roofs to the south. The extreme asymmetry of the crown will have the effect of shifting the centre of mass away from the vertical axis of the trunk. The alteration in biomechanics caused by the action of the neighbour will have increased the probability of the tree failing during high winds and/or snow loading. Weather events such as these are more likely to occur within the next 6 months than the period since the operation was undertaken. Option 1 Fell as close as possible to ground level Apply eco plugs
