Description of Approved Works

T1.          Minor low branches over the driveway are to be lifted to provide a clearance of 6.00M over the driveway including the removal of dead wood and necessary re-shaping.  The height and basic shape should be retained.  It is important to prune branches at convenient growth points, rather than an all-round reduction or pollarding which is not permitted.

T2.          Low branches over the drive to be lifted as necessary.

T3.          Remove and the roots grubbed out.

T4.          Crown thin by 20% including the removal of dead wood and necessary re-shaping. The height and basic shape should be retained.  It is important to prune branches at convenient growth points, rather than an all-round reduction or pollarding which is not permitted.
