T2 - Horse Chestnut - Crown Reduction - Reducing the height and spread of the tree by up to 2 metres - Remove major deadwood throughout whole crown area (Deadwood > 25mm in diameter ) - Crown Lift to provide 4 metres clearance from ground level Current approximate height: 19 metres from ground level - Current approximate crown spread: 16 metres, new approximate height: 17 metres from ground level - New approximate spread: 14.5 metres Reason for work: The Horse Chestnut has been previously pollarded and is now exhibiting regrowth that requires management to maintain structural integrity and public safety. A crown reduction of up to 2 metres in height and spread is proposed to reduce mechanical stress on regrowth points and to contain the tree within a suitable size for its location, in line with good arboricultural practice. The removal of major deadwood (diameter >25mm) throughout the crown is necessary to mitigate the risk of branch failure, particularly in areas accessible to the public or property. Additionally, crown lifting to provide 4 metres clearance from ground level is required to improve access and visibility, and ensure adequate clearance for pedestrians or vehicles. All proposed works are in accordance with the principles of BS3998:2010 Tree Work Recommendations, ensuring the long-term health, safety, and amenity value of the tree. Maximum diameter pruning wound of 50mm and pruning to be carried out within guidance of BS3998:2010
