| Proposal | Application to carry out works to two horse chestnuts subject of Fleet Tree Preservation Order No. 5, 1992. The trees are in the rear garden of 33 The Brambles,Holbeach. The tree identified as T2 of the Order is in the north western corner of the garden, the tree identified as T3 of the Order is in the north eastern corner of the garden.
T2. Reduce branch with severely split bark which grows over the shed,
either:
a. reduce by about 50% in length/height down to the level of two branches which rest on one another. Remove scarred bottom branch and keep the upper, but prune back to new growth points at approximately
2.0 metres (e.g.remove 2.0 metres off the end).
or
b.cut back to one branch at about 1.0 metre above stump end which is sprouting. There is concern that if the branch is cut too low this will result in rot spreading into the main trunk.
Remove any rubbing branches through out the crown.
T3. Crown lift by removal of 2.0-2.5 metres of pendulous growth.
Remove any rubbing branches through out the crown. |
