Official description

Tree Preservation Order EL:12/02 - T1 - mature Horse Chestnut tree situated to rear of back garden adjacent to public car park. Tree has a height of approximately 22 metres and spread of approximately 10 metres. T2 - mature Horse Chestnut tree situated to rear of back garden adjacent to car park and service alley. Tree has a height of approximately 20 metres and spread of approximately 10 metres. The trees have reasonable public amenity value viewed from car park and adjacent properties. Reasons for pruning are to reduce areas of crown extending beyond natural canopy to reduce end weight, particularly in areas extending towards car park. Maintaining both trees at a reasonable size suitable to their location, balancing use of private garden with amenity, keeping a flowing outline at a decreased size. Proposed work is to carry out a 1.5 - 2 metres selective crown reduction on both trees with pruning cuts no greater than 30mm diameter, will be up to one third the diameter of the parent branch, leaving a flowing crown.
