South Croxted Road, 119

Proposal:

Specie and Location of Tree 

A Lime tree approximately 12m in height, situated to the rear garden with Nos 15 & 17 Chalford Road. 

Description of Approved Works 

Pollarding to suitable growth points is advisable in order to address concerns regarding hazard, and to effectively reduce alleged influence of soil moisture uptake.  Photo attached shows the extent of acceptable pruning at approximately 5.5m height. 

This is in line with the recommendations of Hortlink 212 and emerging best practice, i.e. a reduction equating to more than a 70-90% reduction in leaf mass. 

The tree can subsequently be maintained to this height on a regular basis. 

Status:

Approved
