Works to Trees
30% crown reduction of twisted willow.
Manjil, The Downs, Maldon

Tree Warden Report - Inspected 16th September 2003
This is a large attractive tree but the removal of dead wood would improve its appearance. If the application had been for felling I would have recommended a TPO but as only a 30% crown reduction is requested subject to the work being carried out under supervision.
Recommended: no objection
RESOLVED: that the Town Council has no objection to the application.
