Council sourceDescription: Mature Oak in rear garden - Completely remove the three lowest limbs pruning back to the most suitable branch union growing point. Completely remove approx. six somewhat lower stubby branches which are a result of previous reduction works undertaken. These branches are to be cut back to a good branch union or growing point. Selectively reduce the remaining canopy site side only by approx. 2 metres, where possible taking care to reduce back to good growing points in an attempt to lessen the oppressive bulk of the tree which dominates the rear garden of 109. Reasons - To admit more light, lessen the oppressive bulk of the tree for the new owner.
