View council mapT1 Holm Oak (Quercus ilex): H12/S9m. Reduce 3?4m (40%) to prior points; cut back from building for 2m clearance. Finish H8?9/S5?6m. Crown contacts building, risking render/gutter/roof abrasion, debris, damp and moss. Prevents nuisance while retaining dense rounded form, amenity/screening; species tolerates hard reduction.T3 Horse Chestnut: H15/S11m. Reduce 2?3m to prior points; remove epicormic growth to crown break. Finish H12?13/S8?9m. As T2: removes weak regrowth, restores structure and managed envelope.T4 Horse Chestnut: H14/S10m. Reduce 2?3m (30%); crown lift for 2m clearance above fence. Finish H11?12/S7?8m. Lower limbs contact/overhang fence, causing damage and restricting access. Lift removes conflict; reduction manages crown/end-weight while retaining health/form.T6 False Acacia (Robinia pseudoacacia): H15/S11m. Reduce 2?3m (30%); remove epicormic growth to crown break. Finish H12?13/S8?9m. Brittle species; weak regrowth increases sudden branch-failure risk. Reduces failure risk/wind loading and restores managed size.T7 Lime (Tilia ? europaea): H14/S10m. Reduce 2?3m (30%) to prior points; remove epicormic growth to crown break. Finish H11?12/S7?8m. Weak post-reduction/pollard regrowth is prone to shedding. Restores a manageable, sound crown consistent with past management.T9 Hornbeam (Carpinus betulus): H13/S9m. Reduce 2?3m (30%) to prior points; crown lift to 4m. Finish H10-11/S6-7m. Maintains managedsize and pedestrian/vehicle clearance while retaining structure/amenity.T10 False Acacia: H14/S10m. Reduce 2?3m (30%); crown lift to 4m. Finish H11?12/S7?8m. Brittle wood/end-weight warrants reduction tolower failure risk; 4m lift provides access clearance.
