FRONT: ONE Indian Bean Tree (T1)(ht.14m) CROWN REDUCE HEIGHT by 4m from 14m to 10m, LATERAL REDUCE by 3m from 8m to 5m on all compass points. Reason: mature Indian Bean Tree (Catalpa bignonioides) stands in the front garden of the property, between the house and Crescent Way. The tree has previously been reduced and is managed on a cyclical maintenance programme. Regrowth from the previous reduction points has now extended the crown back over the front elevation of the house and the front path. The proposed works will maintain the tree's existing shape and form, keeping it in proportion to its position close to the building, and reducing the end-weight carried on regrowth from previous reductions.
