Official description
The following tree works are proposed in accordance with the recommendations contained within the Arboricultural Survey & Tree Risk Report prepared by Topp Tree Care Ltd dated 19 May 2026. The proposed works are intended to proactively manage mature Lime trees situated adjacent to residential dwellings, access roads, parking areas and pedestrian routes, in order to reduce excessive end-weight loading, mitigate foreseeable branch failure risk, and establish a sustainable cyclical management regime whilst retaining the significant amenity value of the tree population in accordance with BS3998:2010 Tree Work Recommendations. T0033, T0031, T0029, T0027, T0025, T0023, T0021, T0019, T0017, T0015, T0013 & T0011 European Lime (Tilia x europaea): Undertake selective and sympathetic crown reductions of approximately 2.0?3.0 metres throughout the outer canopy, with particular emphasis on reducing elongated lateral growth and excessive end-weight over adjacent dwellings, gardens, parking areas and access routes. Works to be carried out by reduction back to suitable secondary growth points whilst retaining a natural and balanced crown form appropriate to the species. T0007 ? European Lime (Tilia x europaea): Undertake a light crown reduction and selective end-weight reduction of approximately 1.5?2.0 metres to elongated lateral limbs and upper co-dominant scaffold structure to reduce mechanical loading and wind sail. Remove ivy from the lower stem and primary unions and undertake routine monitoring of the co-dominant union structure. T0005 & T0003 ? European Lime (Tilia x europaea): Undertake light crown reduction and selective end-weight reduction of approximately 10?15% throughout the outer canopy to reduce loading on historic scaffold unions and constrained basal structures adjacent to the retaining wall. Remove minor deadwood and ivy growth from the lower stem and buttress areas to facilitate future inspection and ongoing management. Group G001 ? European Lime Group: Remov
