Application to remove dead wood and reduce the crown of a Lime Tree by pollarding, due to safety concerns and to allow more light into gardens. The tree is causing paving stones to dip and subside. TPO 60E.

Full Proposal

Lime Tree. Need to remove dead wood from the crown as branches have begun to fall off and there is a large amount of new growth. As the crown also overhangs the pavement I am worried about the safety for passers by. The crown also needs to wholly reduced by the maximum amount possible (pollarding) to reduce the height and thinned to give more available light into gardens of number 1 and 2 Beech Mews. There is also a need to remove the epicormic growth. Due to extensive growth over time the tree is now causing paving stones in the garden to dip and subside. TPO 60E.
