Works: 1. Reduce Large Beech by approx 2m using RVT methodology 2. Sycamore - Fell to ground level and Eco plug 4. London Plane (Park Tree) - Shorten limbs overhanging garden by reducing by approx 2m using RVT methodology Justification: RVT - involves the removal of a small portion of primary foliage bearing branches back to naturally occurring pruning points within the canopy to subtly reduce and thin the canopy. The method concentrates on the removal of small percentages of the foliage bearing branches which are pruned back to the best, naturally occurring pruning points within the canopy. Only a small percentage of the foliage is removed, typically between 5 and 20%. This represents a subtle and progressive tree management method, which is sympathetic to the trees health and growth requirements." It also closely resembles the tree's own naturally evolved strategy of progressive branch loss in high winds and this naturalistic ageing. 1. The beech tree tree plays an important part of the street scheme and are of high amenity value. However, the tree is very dominant and has outgrow its location. If left unreduced there will be increasing issues in the future. Regular sensitive reductions will maintain a viable leaf bearing crown and enable the tree to maintain at a size so that it can continue to be an asset. 2. The sycamore is a self-set tree of poor form that is suppressed by the neighbouring beech and plane trees, it's removal will allow the neighbouring trees more space. 4. The London plane tree is beginning to dominate the garden. A sensitive reduction of the overhanging branches back to suitable growth points will reduce the negative impacts on the property.
