T1 is a Copper Beech (Fagus sylvatica 'atropurpurea') growing in the garden of 'Brendon', Dosson Grove, adjacent to the public highway of St Michaels' Rd. Crown lift the Eastern side of the tree, over St Michael's Rd, to give 2.5m clearance over the footway, and 5.3m over the carriageway, to include cutting back any minor branches (less than 25mm diameter) rubbing on the telecom lines, to give 30 cm clearance to the lines. Crown-lift the western side of the tree, over the dwelling 'Brendon', to give 3m clearance to the roof of the property. Reason: to comply with ones duty to not obstruct the highway/footway; and to avoid future damage to the roof of the dwelling.
