20/1382/TTPO | Works to TPO trees

29 Courtyards Little Shelford CB22 5ER

TPO 0005 (1960) A1: T1 - Ash tree - This tree has in the past exhibited Innonotus Hispidus bracket fungus. It also has several pockets of rot, one at the bifocation on the main stem. It is situated over the back extension of the house with a lean towards the property. Concern has been raised by the owners that are worried about potenial damage if this tree should fail. In addition to this problem the tree contributes the heavy shade in the back garden. I propose a 2m crown reduction to suitable growth points where possible. These works are to be carried out in High summer and the aim is to pull the branches away from the house and reduce weight, shade and sail. T2 - Ash tree - This tree has in the past exhibited Innonotus Hispidus bracket fungus. It has already had one large bow fail and very nearly destroy the large green house underneath. This tree is also showing signs of decay high in the tree with pockets of rot throughout and at the base, where the bark is clearly falling away as a result of the fungus. There is once again also the matter of heavy shade. I propose a 2m crown reduction to suitable growth points where possible. These works are to be carried out in high summer.
