Tree Survey of Mature Oak with TPO in Bristol

Brief

Inspection of a mature oak tree with a Tree Preservation Order that has some interesting features. The client had asked for a re-inspection after the removal of ivy as identified by a previous survey. As the tree is located in a high target value area, including bordering a neighbouring property and a well used car park, it is important to make sure public safety is a key consideration.

Works

A thorough survey was carried out, including an aerial inspection, which revealed areas of decay and cavities within the trunk.

Results

A report was produced and submitted as part of an application to the local planning authority to carry out remedial works. Retention of the tree while upholding public safety was the focus.
