- Description:
- T1. Robinia Tree ? Lateral Spread Reduction and Canopy Thinning The Robinia, while not yet fully mature, is exhibiting characteristics that necessitate preemptive management to avoid long-term structural and environmental issues. The current canopy significantly suppresses light access within the small garden. Lateral Spread Reduction: Cutting back the lateral spread all around will minimise the above-head canopy, ensuring the space remains usable while maintaining the tree?s structural integrity. This is a crucial consideration for small urban gardens, where every square meter of sunlight access impacts the usability and enjoyment of outdoor space. Reduction of Suppression on Garden: The Robinia's dominance is limiting plant growth and creating a dense, shaded environment. A slight reduction will allow for a more balanced ecological environment. Canopy Thinning: By selectively removing internal growth, the tree can be sensitively pruned to increase light penetration while maintaining its overall shape and health. Thinning will also mitigate wind resistance, reducing the risk of structural failure during storms. Conclusion The proposed works are a proportionate and measured response to the growing suppression of light and encroachment within a small, confined garden space.They align with best arboricultural practices by ensuring: Minimal intervention with maximal benefit for both the garden and trees. The preservation of tree health while enhancing environmental harmony. A long-term sustainable balance between natural growth and the needs of the property occupants. We respectfully submit that the proposed works should be granted permission in full to ensure the ongoing viability of the garden while preserving the health of the trees involved.
