Council sourceT1 - Sycamore. Proposed works: Create a framework pollard by reducing the crown of this large sycamore that was previously cut to a monolith approximately 10-15 years ago. The crown of this tree has grown large for the space, overhanging and shading 4 back gardens. Cavities are evident at crown break, indicating potential of poor attachment of the regrowth. Reducing the crown to suitable pollard points approximately 2m above main crown break would create a more appropriately sized crown that could be maintained regularly and reduce mechanical stresses on the unions. G1 - Olives. Proposed works: Cut back the overhang and shape the row of olive trees growing in the neighbouring property (19 Stowe Rd). These trees were recently pruned, but the side overhanging 18A Godolphin Rd's garden was left untouched. These proposed works would re-balance to their crowns.
