Update on the Hornbeam - April 2024
Following the recent wind damage to the Hornbeam, and the loss of two sizeable branches, we approached the Woodland Trust asking for their advice on how to manage the Hornbeam's decline, and make it safe. They recommended the services of an arborist and we include his report below. Following receipt of planning permission from Bristol City Council, we now plan to undertake this work in the near future.

Tree Work Carried out in January/February 2023
We recently asked Ambience to undertake a tree survey on behalf of BPDMCL as the last survey and work (with the exception of the Hornbeam) was carried out 6 years ago.
Ambience has issued a tree survey report with recommendations for work to be undertaken in order to ensure the safety and health of the trees on the amenity areas that we manage. We envisage that this work will be carried out early in 2023.
Below is a copy of the report.

Advice When Planning Your Own Tree Work
The whole of this estate is a conservation area, so depending on the size of your tree, you are likely to need to obtain planning permission from Bristol City Council before cutting it back or removing it. Full guidance is in the link below, but in summary, if the tree trunk is wider than 75mm at 1.5m high then you will need planning permission to reduce its size or remove it.
