Plan to re-pollard a Weeping Ash to reduce weight and remove unstable growth, fell two cherry trees, and prune a mature cherry to prevent damage and ensure clearance from the church.

Full Proposal

T1 Weeping Ash - Undertake re-pollarding back to previous pollard points to reduce end-weight, remove potentially unstable secondary growth, and manage risk of limb failure T2 Cherry - Fell both cherry trees to ground level and remove all arisings from site. T3 Mature Cherry - Remove lowest limb extending into Yew tree to reduce competition and avoid future damage. Draw back scaffold limb with mechanical damage by approx. 3m to suitable secondary growth points. Draw back canopy from church gable end to achieve a minimum clearance of 3m. Remove deadwood and minor crossing/rubbing branches throughout canopy. Continue with periodic inspection to monitor for decline or further mechanical stress.
