C1 - Cypress. Remove as too close to the house and in danger of affecting foundations. Growing into the gutter at present. See picture. P1 - Pittisporum. Reduce by 50% from 24' to 12'. This is repollarding to previous points. A1 - Apple tree. This Bramley is old and needs end weight reducing as well as pruning to help it live on. SB1 - Silver Birch. Reduce by 30%; repollard to the next viable growth point down from where it has been done before; pull in top of the canopy to give a rounded shape. Currently approximately 36', reduce to approximately 24'. S1 - Sycamore. Remove as growing too close to the field maple next to it. The field maple is by far the more desirable shape and size; remove sycamore to preserve the amenity value of the field maple.
