T693. Sycamore - Carry out a crown reduction by approximately 2m current height 14m leaving at 12m. T512. Field Maple - Carry out a crown reduction by approximately 2m. Current height 10m leaving at 8mT513. Walnut - Carry out a crown reduction by approximately 1.5m. Current height 9m leaving at 7.5m.T682. Judas - Heavily reduce to alleviate weight leaving the tree at 4m from ground level. The works to T512 and T513 are to manage the tree canopy sizes to ensure adequate light is let into neighbours properties. T693 has some decay present in the upper canopy and has large growth on that decay. The aim of that reduction is to alleviate end weight and wind sail to reduce loading on the decayed area. T682 has uprooted at the base and collapsed onto the fence. The school would prefer to keep the tree and as a result would like to heavily reduce and stake the tree and allow for new growth.
