T4 Maple (Marked T1 on map) - Reduce the crown by 2 metres in height and lateral spread. Cut back to suitable growth points leaving a balance natural crown. Reason for works - To manage the size and spread of the crown, improve clearance from the roadside, footpath and garage roof and maintain a balanced crown appropriate for the trees location. T3 Oak (Marked T2 on map) - Reduce the crown by 1.5-2m in height and lateral spread back to the previous established pruning points, leaving a balanced natural crown. Remove significant deadwood throughout the crown. Reason for works - To manage the size and spread of the crown, return the tree to its previous established pruning points, improve overall crown balance and remove signification deadwood general tree management and safety.

T16 - Oak (marked T1 on plan) - Reduce the existing crown by 1.5-2m back to the previous established pruning/pollard points and undertake a light crown thin of approximately 10%, concentrating on selected secondary growth to achieve an even distribution throughout the crown. Reason - Fruiting bodies of Ganoderma applanatum have been identified around the base of the tree and subsequent Resistograph testing has confirmed areas of decay and cavity within the lower stem. The decay identified could have an effect upon the structural integrity of the tree at its present size. Management response intended to reduce crown sail area and associated wind loading whilst retaining the protected tree.
