Notification of intent to carry out Tree surgery works to No 1 Beech Tree and Fell No 1 Sycamore Tree within a conservation area. The Sycamore tree has died during the summer infection by sooty bark disease (Cryptostroma corticale) confirmed. Description of the work: Biological control is required therefore fell and burn infected section of vascular bundle T2 Beech The tree has developed a bias canopy with overextended limb on south quadrant . Following the nearby failure of large chestnut and the loss of the companion canopy, the tree is more exposed to external forces and recently the brakeage of few limbs have triggered concern. It is suggested to carry out a retrenchment pruning by approx. .2.5 metres on south quadrant elongated limbs to mitigate risk of further failure. Pruning cut should not exceed 60-70 mm in diameters. Tree surgery will be implemented in line with best practice as per BS 3998.
