TBH Tree Care was instructed to carry out crown reductions on mature birch, maple and walnut trees at a residential property in Fring, Norfolk. As the site is located within a designated conservation area, all proposed tree works required formal approval from the Local Planning Authority before any pruning could take place.
Our Approach
We began with a detailed site visit to assess the trees and discuss the client’s objectives. Following this, we provided a clear written quote outlining the scope of works and the recommended crown reductions to improve light levels and maintain tree health.
Once instructed to proceed, we prepared and submitted the necessary planning application to the Local Planning Authority on behalf of the client. After consent was granted, our qualified arborists carried out the crown reductions in line with best practice and British Standard BS3998.
All arisings were processed efficiently, with brash chipped and removed from site, leaving the property clean and tidy.
