- Description:
- Specific trees referred to are as per Arboricultural Report attached, dated October 2013. There has been a general lack of maintenance to the trees by the previous owners of the property, and we have consequently recognised the need to obtain further expert advice. A further site survey was therefore conducted by Simon Basson of Basson's Arboriculture in August 2014 and his recommendations are as follows. T4 Holly - raise crown to 5m and remove ivy and dead wood. T6 Cedar - raise crown to 5m and remove dead wood. T7 Hornbeam - raise crown to 4m and remove dead wood. T11 Birch - this tree is on the boundary line and requires the removal of the lower right hand limb to improve the balance of the tree and relieve the stress/weight on the tree. T8 Robinea - remove the lowest limb, dead wood and ivy. T5 Walnut - reduce lowest 2 limbs overhanging towards single garage by 4m to relieve weight. Reduce lowest limb overhanging drive circle by 2m to relieve weight, and remove all dead wood. T15 Birch - remove this tree as it has been planted in too close proximity to Sycamore tree T14 and is growing through the crown of that tree. T14 Sycamore - raise crown to 4m including removing lowest limb and dead wood. Hazel (not on site report, but situated close to T16 on site plan) - overall crown reduction by 1.5m and removal of dead wood. T20 Horse Chestnut - raise crown to 3.5m and remove dead wood. T24 Contorted Willow - thin crown by 20% to reduce weight and prolong life, raise crown to 3m and remove dead wood. This is necessary due to visual evidence of stress due to excess weight on trunk.
