RFI - Aboricultural Impact Assessment

6.1.1 EARLY WORK TRI-STEM TREE
   •   All non-retained vegetation and trees within the site and verge are to be removed to
       low stumps, with ground vegetation (ferns) beneath the subject tree kept at this time.

   •   The area beneath the tree, from the edge of the driveway to the boundary, is to be
       flagged to create a temporary Exclusion Zone during the house/site demolition.

   •   The existing driveway is to be retained as ground protection during house/site
       demolition works to protect the tree’s root zone beneath.

   •   The existing driveway is to be carefully removed; see Hard Surface removal.

   •   The Exclusion Zone is to be extended to the left-hand/western side of the old driveway
       outside the trees’ Structural Root Zone. This area will be the Exclusion Zone for the
       majority of the project timeframe; see Tree Protection Fencing.

   •   New access is to be established where the new driveway alignment is to be.

   •   Canopy pruning to occur to reduce the canopy spread with a focus on longer lateral
       branches on the site side and a light reshape to balance the canopy form and
       aesthetics. Ideally, these works are not to exceed 20% live growth removal. These
       works are to be undertaken by a suitably qualified Level 3 Arborist.
