- Description:
- T1 - Sycamore. Reduce southern aspect by 2m, maximum diameter of cut (MDC) 40mm. T2 - Sycamore. Reduce lower third of southern canopy by 1.5m, MDC 30mm T4 - Turkey Oak. Reduce height by approximately 6m to suitable growth points, MDC 175-200mm. Reduce north, south & west aspects by up to 3m, MDC 75mm. Reduce large eastern limb by 4-5m, MDC 125mm. Remove major hazardous deadwood. Reason for works: T1 & T2 are causing a nuisance to the neighbouring property 'Oakdene', over-dominance of their outdoor space and multiple branches have broken tiles and guttering of outbuildings. These works are considered arboriculturally appropriate. T4 is a fine mature specimen with a broad spreading canopy. Detailed inspection carried out in July 2021 showed multiple issue around the base of the tree; multiple fungi were present, Ganoderma resinaceum and Kretzschmaria deusta, both of which are known to be an aggressive decay fungi. Resistograph microdrill testing was carried out in 2021 and results show there has been a reduction in structural integrity. See report and drill testing results for further detail. The tree has been re-inspected more recently (October 2024) and conditions are not thought to have improved. Due to the tree's location with 1 Matford Rd, Oakdene and Matford Road a crown reduction is essential to reduce loadings at the base of the tree to reduce the significant risk of failure and to ensure the tree's longevity.
