Request to reduce the oak tree in the garden by 30%, remove dead wood, and a specific lower branch due to safety and light concerns. The tree is covered by TPO 53W.

Full Proposal

Oak Tree Reduction Request The oak tree is situated in the corner of the garden. Several lower branches have extended over the boundary, touching the neighbour?s house and overhanging their garden. This raises concerns about potential damage to their property and safety risks. Additionally, the crown has become dense and now requires a reduction. The last crown reduction was carried out in 2020. Reason for Work This is a general maintenance request. Some branches have begun to break and fall, and the tree is significantly blocking light to our property, garden, and those of neighbouring properties. The lower limbs are also in direct contact with the neighboring structure, posing a risk of damage. Proposed Works We propose a 30% reduction of the tree's full canopy?targeting secondary branches only?as well as the removal of any dead wood. Additionally, we request the removal of a specific lower branch that could potentially cause harm to the neighboring property. TPO 53W.
