TPO Number: 34/91 Prune 1 x Oak tree: Oak - Following the recent summer branch drop, the crown is heavily weighted , exposed and unbalanced. Remedial tree surgery works are required to reduce the heavy laterals by to suitable growth points, and reshape the upper crown where necessary to ensure a flowing canopy appearance, and a crown lift will give statutory required clearance over the road. Fell 1 x Cherry tree: Cherry - A small heavily suppressed tree. Prune 1 x Sugar Maple tree: Reduce this heavily suppressed tree from over the bothy to ensure clearance of any growth from the roof space. The proposed works are part of the ongoing arboricultural management at this property ensuring that the tree stock is well/safely maintained
