Condition Details / Information Notes
No justification has been provided for the proposed works
No justification has been provided for the restriction of the tree's size. The site has adequate space to allow the development of the tree to its full potential. The proposed works would be to the detriment of the future public amenity value of the tree
The proposed works would be to the detriment of the natural shape, form, and flow of the tree's canopy, and therefore to public amenity
Unnecessary tree works should be avoided to minimise the chances of detrimental impacts on the tree's vascular system, potentially leading to the ingress of harmful pathogens and decay, or the activation of latent pathogens or decay fungi
The proposed branch removals would leave wounds of a significant size on the main stem of the tree, close to the point where the main stem divides. The wounds would mean exposure of heartwood leading to increased likelihood of pathogen colonisation leading to ill-health and decay. The proposed works put the integrity of the tree at risk and are therefore not considered to be acceptable.
The removal of significant sized limbs, as proposed, would mean a reduction in the available carbon that could be allocated for defence and increased competition for carbon for regrowth and reproduction. The proposed works would be considered to the detriment of the overall health and resilience of the tree and are therefore not considered acceptable.
The proposed works would mean a reduction in the tree's leaf area resulting in the reduced availability of carbon and other products from photosynthesis. The proposed works would therefore be considered to be to the detriment of the tree's overall health and are therefore not considered acceptable.
