Council sourceT1 Sycamore - Height reduction of 5m leaving tree to around 12m in height from 18m. T2 Holly - 12-13m tall, reduce this by 2-3m leaving it around 9-10m tall. Reason for works - Both trees are located close to overground cables. T1 Sycamore is a multi stem so the reduction would reduce the leverage on these.
