170 Church Lane Marple Stockport Stockport SK6 7LA
The property adjacent to No170 Church Lane have raised concerns regarding a tree (maple) that has been previously pollard to approx. 3m The concern is the weight and size of the trees regrowth is causing stress to old healing wounds caused by the previous pollard and the varied focus of the tree blocking substantial light to there property. The owner of no170 Church Lane has agreed for the tree to be re pollard to a more maintainable Hight of around 3m in Hight (back to previous points ) or where possible to keep the structure of the tree safe. And manageable for future maintenance. My focus is to remove the substantial weight from the tree back to the previous pollard points making the tree more stable and making safer for future work and maintenance and giving substantial growing space for x3 well established pines that are close to the tree which we hope long term will thrive with the additional space and light. Both clients agree the tree is in a unhealthy state and would like to prolong its life and we believe with a more lower maintainable crown this is achievable. Focusing on the wounds and holes in the tree my professional view and upon inspection of the damage caused from previous work i agree that a pollard is a much safer option and will keep the tree alive and more maintainable appose to a fell and remove. - HAR/CA31
