T/TR/197 G24 - T16 - Horse Chestnut.- Reduce the remaining upright trunk to approximately 4.0m above the defect. - Shape the remaining canopy where necessary to leave a more balanced crown. T18 - Horse Chestnut - Reduce storm damaged branches and those containing significant cavities by 10% of branch length. Reduce crown height by 15 % whilst retaining all lower internal growth. OR - Fell the tree within 6 months to permanently remove the hazard and allow installation of new replacement planting within the group. As this is the dominant tree, adjacent retained trees will require reduction to prevent further storm damage. I recommend an overall reduction of around 15% in height and lateral branch spread. This should be sufficient to stabilise the trees in the short term and prevent extensive failure during storm conditions.
