Street-side Cherry tree adjacent to Kids & Co Nursery: Crown reduction & cutback of lateral limbs overhanging and encroaching on Nursery play area. Approximate reduction of limbs by 2-3 Metres to provide sufficient clearance to property for storm damage mitigation & safety purposes (falling flowers posing slip hazard for children). Reduction cuts will be made in accordance with BS3998 and thus will likely include pruning the top of the crown in order to match the side, retaining the overall balance of the tree and optimal branch structure. Proposed works also include crown lift (approx 3 Metres) to provide adequate clearance for adjacent nursery grounds.
