    To carry out work to an Acer pseudplatanus at the castle as a result of a recent tree safety inspection carried out for us, the inspectors notes are below - 3012 - Acer pseudoplatanus - Healthy overall. Tree remains on pronounced lean toward footpath due to shading from adjacent sycamore. Risk to integrity of historic banking considered as tree increases in size. As vitality is high, crown management via weight reduction may be sensible, allowing maintenance of a smaller tree going forwards. Although not urgent, pragmatic intervention via 40% reduction would be justified in order to preserve the tree and castle banking. Works within 3yrs reasonable

    2/TPO/00205 - Two lime trees located out the front of the property that our client wants reduced.One of the trees has shed a branch onto neighbours property. We are looking to thin the trees and give a crown reduction up to 3m depending on pruning points and to manage a shape of both trees. The trees are full of epicormic growth and are covering the lients/neighbours garden. They want them reduced to keep on top of growth, manage the trees from having future limb failures, allow more light onto grass and give a balanced canopy. As you know lime trees are very fast growing so they want to keep on top of the trees as they are taking up all the space in the garden. I can see they have been done previously in the past
