T1 Oak. Crown clean to remove deadwood and any damaged branches. Evenly reduce lateral spread by no more than 1.5m around the perimeter of the canopy - back to suitable secondary branches, by removing branch tips only to ensure future compatibility with site surroundings and usage. All pruning cuts must be made at branch junctions, leaving sufficient live growth to maintain or enhance crown form. The tree is close to buildings and a public highway and the work to remove deadwood in particular is to address the potential hazard of this falling unpredictably. The tree is currently 15 high and after proposed works will be no less than 13.5m high.
