6 Partridge Ride Loggerheads Market Drayton Shropshire TF9 2QX

Tree 1 - Oak tree - positioned on the border at the rear of 6 Partridge Ride. Tree has not had any work undertaken on it for at least 6 years, if not many more. This is a large oak tree that is also located very near to the electricity pylon to the side of the property. The request is for the tree to undergo a crown lift, crown reduction and general thinning/dead wooding to reduce risk of the tree reaching towards/interfering with the electricity pylon, to address the issue of low branches impacting users of the adjacent footpath, provide additional light into the rear garden and to balance the tree. Tree 2 - mature scots pine - 16 metres high with a crown spread of 7 metres. During recent snow fall a large branch broke off and embedded itself upright in the grass on the house side of the tree. The tree requires crown lifting to remove lower branches at risk of breaking, a crown reduction to reduce the size of the crown and remove any risk of further breakages impacting the house during strong winds (an ongoing concern and one that has recently increased in likelihood following the recent near miss of a large branch), and general thinning/dead wooding.
