1no. Oak (T231) - Overall crown reduction of up to 4m. A visual survey identified a compressed fork, with the possibility of internal cracking at the union. Overall crown reduction proposed to reduce the mechanical loading on the fork and help mitigate the potential risk of failure. The works are intended as a preventative measure to retain the tree whilst addressing the identified structural concern. 1no. Oak (T232) - Crown height reduction and reduction of lateral branches extending over 6 Churchward Gardens by up to 3m. A visual survey identified an elongated, overextended crown with a bias towards 6 Churchward Gardens. A reduction in crown height and lateral branches is proposed to reduce crown extension and associated mechanical loading. The works are intended as a preventative measure to manage potential structural risk whilst retaining the tree. All pruning will be undertaken using good Arboricultural practice, with reduction cuts made to suitable growth points and the natural shape and form of each crown maintained.

1no. Oak (T1) - To be reduced by 2-3m and thinned due to crown being very dense. the thin will be focused on rubbing, unnecessary and rubbing limbs. We also require clearing the neighbouring property by 2m but that should be accomplished by the reduction. Crown lift of 1.8-2.5m to provide clearance to car park.
