Kirkburton, Huddersfield, HD5

Safety condition survey for local parish council. 76 trees were surveyed in total (73 individual trees and 3 groups of trees) and we were informed that there were multiple, Group, Area and Individual Tree Preservation Orders (TPO) in force on this site. Of the 76 trees, 7 required pruning to reduce potential risk of harm or for general management purposes. 25 of the trees were noted to have structural or physiological defects and although at the time of inspection, they were deemed to be in an acceptable condition, the defects may lead to early demise or render them unsafe in the future. Therefore, it was recommended to the client that these particular trees were to be monitored on an annual basis to assess if their condition is still acceptable.
