- Description:
- T1 - Corsican Pine (Tag 812) Suggested Works: Reduce south eastern aspect by up to 2 metres, Maximum Diameter of Cuts (MDC) 50mm. Remove major hazardous deadwood. T2 - Corsican Pine (Tag 811) Suggested Works: Reduce north eastern limb overhanging neighbouring property by 2.5 metres, MDC 75mm. Reduce height of southern stem (of two) by 1.5 metres, MDC 50mm. Remove broken branch and major hazardous deadwood. T3 - Scots Pine Suggested Works: Remove hanging and split branches and major hazardous deadwood. Rationale: The above works are proposed as part of the reasonable and responsible maintenance of these large garden trees necessary to reduce the risk posed by these trees to an acceptable level. The trees exhibit poor form, both trees have been subject to crown lifting previously and with the remaining crowns very heavily weighted to the south and east. The limbs that have been suggested for reduction are very end weighted and thus require a relatively slight reduction to reduce force and stress, and in turn lower the risk of branch failure. There is evidence of limb failure in both trees. The residential gardens below are a permanent target, and it would be prudent to address the this issue so that the gardens can be enjoyed without concern.
