Tree Retention CategoriesStems & canopies shown
Category B tree
Category C tree
Category U tree
Unremarkable trees of low quality and merit. Individual specimensare not considered to be a material planning consideration.
Trees unsuitable for retention due to their very poor condition.
Trees of moderate quality with a life expectancy of 20+ years.Usually maturing trees, or younger trees with good form. Retentionof these trees is desirable though less than Category A trees
Trees of high quality with an estimated life expectancy of 40+ years.Usually large trees with significant presence or smaller trees withexcellent form. Retention of these trees is highly desirable.

No works proposed in this area.Trees to be fenced off and aConstruction Exclusion Zone to be created.No impact on trees.
All proposed works to be within the footprint of the existing building.Therefore no impact on tree roots or canopies.No additional windows to be facing the trees.Therefore no increase in pressure to remove or overly‐prune.
In this area it is proposed to utilise a pile and raft foundation.No excavation is proposed within more than 5% of RPAs.This has been confirmed by a survey of existing levelsand a study of Cross‐Sectional drawings.

Trench 3: Trial excavations in this area (hatched purple) revealed very littlerooting activity (maximum root diameter 15mm). See sample photos in Inset A.Contiguous or sheet piling is proposed to ensureno disturbance of soils beyond the footprint of the basement car‐park.The impact of severing the small roots encountered in the trial excavationshall be more than offset by canopy pruning necessary to enable the pilingrig to operate.The clearance distances required for the piling rig are yet to be clarified.

Trench 1: Trial excavations in this area (hatched purple) revealed relatively low rooting activity(maximum root diameter 35mm, all other roots were less than 8mm dia.).See sample photos in Inset B.Contiguous or sheet piling is proposed to ensureno disturbance of soils beyond the footprint of the basement car‐park.As mitigation, we recommend that soild throughout the rest of the RPA are amelioratedby terraventing and the application of a nutritious mulch and worms.
Trench 2: Trial excavations in this area (hatched purple) revealed moderate rooting activitybut no large roots (maximum roots encountered measured diameter 35mm, 30mm and 20mm)See sample photos in Inset C.Contiguous or sheet piling is proposed to ensureno disturbance of soils beyond the footprint of the basement car‐park.As mitigation, we recommend that soild throughout the rest of the RPA are amelioratedby terraventing and the application of a nutritious mulch and worms.
Canopy of T64 is quite high with only one low rogue branch.hence very little pruning shall be required to enable the build.
No building works proposed in the RPA of T5
Windows to be located as far from the canopy of T48 as practicable.Canopy to be pruned back to enable improved lighting conditions inadjacent rooms. Extent of pruning to be agreed with the local authority.
Exacation over only 2.7% of the RPA of T50.Piling proposed for foundations to ensure nodisturbance of soils beyond the footprint
Improved juxtaposition between T50and buildings in this area.
Inset B: Sample photos of trial Trench 1 east of T6.Rooting activity was low.More photographs in Section 8.
