T1 - London Plane - crown reduce 9m in height. Reduce height by 3m from 9m to 6m. Reduce laterals by 2m from 6m to 4m on all compass points. A semi-mature London Plane standing in the rear garden of the property. The tree has been managed on a cyclical pruning regime and carries an established framework of previous reduction points, clearly visible throughout the crown. The proposed works return the tree to those existing points and no further, maintaining the shape and form already established and keeping the tree in proportion to a modest garden bounded by dwellings and their gardens on all sides.
