T1 Willow tree rear garden pollard back to previous pollard points 2.5m. Part of maintenance programme maintaining tree at suitable size for its location.

Tree Type Beech label T2 Location: T2 1 Beech Located In the front garden of Copper Birch, Forest Drive, Kingswood Located 21 metres from Copper Birch property. Copper Beech tree is located in the front garden of Copper Birch on Forest Drive as indicated in the sketch drawing. Proposed Works Jake Meyers has proposed carrying out a 15 20% crown reduction to the mature Copper Beech. This is 1.5m off the crown and 2m from the sides. The tree is currently carrying a significant amount of end weight throughout the canopy, increasing the loading on the primary limbs. The proposed reduction will lessen the overall sail area and end weight, reducing the likelihood of branch or limb failure while retaining the trees natural shape, health and amenity value. The works will be carried out in accordance with BS3998:2010. Tree Work Recommendations using appropriate pruning cuts to maintain the long term health and structural integrity of the tree

Trees 1 and 2 (adjacent 150) prune back from their dwelling/garage by circa 3m and remove deadwood. The branches of both trees are extending across the curtilage of 150 Fleetwood Close. Some are in close proximity to the dwelling. Early pruning work, as requested, will enable the tree crown to be managed without recourse to substantial pruning cuts. Early intervention is therefore considered to be best practice in accordance with BS3998:2010: Tree Works - Recommendations. Tree 3 reduce height to circa 6m above ground level. The tree is in decline and presents no regenerative growth from lower on the branches or stem structure. If regenerative growth had been present it would have been feasible to specify pruning works to suitable growth points. Given the state of decline and absence of suitable pruning points it is considered prudent to remove the major branches but retain the lower stem for its ecological value. Works can be undertaken in accordance with BS3998:2010: Tree Works - Recommendations.
