T1 - Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus), Reduce the canopy by approximately 40% to create a safer and more stable structure. Inspect the canopy for additional defects and prune to suitable growth points where possible. T2 - Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus), Reduce the canopy by approximately 15?20% to suitable strong secondary growth points. Reduction aims to reduce wind loading and leverage following the heavier reduction of the adjacent specimen whilst also reducing hyperextended growth. T3 - Ornamental Plum (Prunus cerasifera), Undertake a heavy reduction of approximately 60% to improve safety and retain the specimen where possible. Prune to suitable growth points where achievable; where unavailable, cuts will be made with the intention of encouraging dormant bud regeneration.
