Official description

T1 Monterey cypress: Selectively prune branches placing tension on the overhead telecommunications cable, cutting back to suitable lateral growth points and providing approximately 1 m clearance. Crown lift the road-facing crown to provide 5.2 m vertical clearance above the carriageway, measured from the road surface to the lowest remaining branch or foliage. Crown lifting should preferentially involve the shortening or removal of secondary branches. All pruning shall comply with BS 3998:2010. T2 Beech: Selectively prune branches contacting and placing tension on the overhead telecommunications cable, cutting back to suitable lateral growth points and providing approximately 1 m clearance. Avoid excessive crown thinning, indiscriminate reduction and unnecessary large-diameter pruning wounds. Retain the tree?s natural crown form. All pruning shall comply with BS 3998:2010. T3, T4 and T5 Pines: Fell to ground level. Entirely dead. Dead crown, no live foliage and clear evidence of total physiological failure. Retain the stumps. No stump grinding, as this would risk damaging the roots of neighbouring Scots Pines of the same species.
