It has been allowed to outgrow the hedge within which it sits and is now physically pushing against the wall. It will cause damage to the wall, which separates The Keep from the railway line, if left to its own devices. Arbutus (T001 on Survey) - Thin internal growth and remove crossing branches. Cut back from street light to give 1m clearance. Soft Maple (T9 on Survey) - Reduce to old points. Reduce height by 4m from 12m to 8m and radial spread by 3m from 6m to 3m all round.
