Meadow Bank 16 Penpethy Road Brixham TQ5 8NW

Official description

Beech T2 specifications 1) Reduce the sides of the southern, western and northwestern aspects of the crown by 2-3m with a 100mm maximum cut diameter. This northwestern crown radius will reduce from approximately 7m to 5m. The southern crown radius will reduce from approximately 7m to 5m. The western crown radius will reduce from approximately 14m to 11m. 2) Remove the lowest limb in the southern crown - approximately 200mm in diameter Beech T2 reason for works (Tree report must be read) Previous root disturbance is suspected - potentially destabilising the rooting system. The tree has a significant crown bias to the west. Pruning will reduce the loading on the root system and therefore reduce the likelihood of it uprooting. Tree stands within falling distance to parking. The lowest limb is struck by delivery vehicles, there are limited options for branch reduction. Beech T3 specifications 1) Reduce the sides of the northern, eastern and southern crown aspects by 2.5m ? use a 100mm maximum cut diameter. The crown radius will reduce from approximately 8m to 5.5m. 2) Reduce the top of the tree by 1.5m - use a 75mm maximum cut diameter. The height of the tree will reduce from approximately 19.5m to 18m. Beech T3 reason for works (Tree report must be read) The base of the main stem is decayed. Pruning will reduce bending load and torsional load on the stem base and reduce the likelihood of stem failure. The tree stands within falling distance to the neighbour's house.
