Opinions on this reduction please

[Perkins]

This is NOT my handiwork by the way. I discovered it in front of a church

 

Not 100% sure but I think it was a tarmaccer that did it.

 

The churchwardens don't seem aware that there is anything wrong with this crown reduction,

so any input would be welcome so I can put a few words together for them.

 

Thanks in advance.

I've just read the rules (as I've been breaking them by accident). And you arn't meant to post others work to have a dig.

 

That said. My view is that the tree has been battered. If the customer is happy and that's what they want, it's not big enough (from what I can see) for conservation rules, or a tpo to be relavent so it's an ok job. I've had to do things which I don't like to earn money. At the end of the day it's the customers tree and if thats what they want and it's legal, thats what they will get.

 

Painters and decorators do not knock each other for painting houses horrible colours. They accept that it's what some people want.

If you cant make a bad comment, then don't comment. State of the reduction? No comment.

Nice bit of firewood there. Looks like a Fagus sylvatica f.purpurea. Looks like the handy work of the tarmaccing/roofing/tree surgery brigade.

 

Ya should know better mate!

Just out of interest, what "conservation rules" and "TPO relevance" do you work to?

[swinny]

It still could be in conservation area and or tpod. Also looks over 75mm dbh so would need notifying of works to council.

 

Trees not been done to bs3998.

 

Shame as trees are what make a church yard at times...

[Wolfie]

I'm not sure that it is one of the tarmaccing/roofing/tree surgery/patio's/fascias/garden clearance brigade.

If you look closely at the side branches, they have tried to cut to growth points. I think it was probably a new start-up or landscaper that think they can do tree work.

The tree is approx.16inch at ground level, so probably 10inch dbh, and is in a conservation area.
