T1 - Sycamore - crown clean by removal of deadwood, dead ivy may be left to disintegrate. Check and report squirrel damage status. T2 - Weeping Willow - Fell x2 stems to ground level and treat stumps with glyphosate eco-plugs to prevent regrowth; or stump grind to 250mm depth. N.B. If felling is delayed beyond six months then remove branches in contact with roof to prevent damage to roof tiles. T3 - Beech - Selectively thin/reduce (crotch-prune) lower 3rd of canopy by up to 3m to contain spread and give 3m clearance to boathouse roof. Prune out subordinate branches internally to remove any rubbing points. T7 - Common Hazel - Coppice at 10cm AGL to remove dead stem and rejuevinate tree, and prevent eventual partial collapse (See report- Sec. 7.4 for full options). T9 - Sever 1m section of ivy from base to facilitate future full VTA. T11 - Yew - Reduce back lateral branches (S) by 1-2m to give 3m clearance from neighboring property building elevation. T12 - Common Hazel - Coppice x 4 largest stems at 10cm AGL, or coppice whole tree (See report- Sec. 7.4 for full options). T17 - Crown clean by removal of dead and hanging, or severely squirrel damaged branches. Carry out climbing inspection and report squirrel damage status. T18 - Sycamore - fell. T20 - Irish Yew - Reduce subsiding branches at 3-4m AGL (W) by 2m to restore desired fastigiate form. T22 - Sycamore - Selectively reduce back lateral branch encroachment over neighbouring property roof by 1-2m to viable growth points; avoid excessive pruning, which will only stimulate vigorous regrowth and exacerbate issue. T23 - Sycamore - fell to ground level to give space to T22. T24 - Sycamore - Selectively reduce back lateral branch encroachment over neighbouring property roof by 1-2m to viable growth points; avoid excessive pruning, which will only stimulate vigorous regrowth and exacerbate issue. Check and report squirrel damage status. T25 - Common Hazel - Coppice at 10cm AGL, or prune back stems (S) to give 3m clearance to neighbouring property (See report- Sec. 7.4 for full options). T26 - Sycamore - Crown clean of dead wood. Selectively reduce back lateral branch encroachment over neighbouring property roof by 1-2m to viable growth points; avoid excessive pruning, which will only stimulate vigorous regrowth and exacerbate issue. Check and report squirrel damage status. T27 - Sycamore - Selectively reduce back lateral branch encroachment over neighbouring property roof by 1-2m to viable growth points; avoid excessive pruning, which will only stimulate vigorous regrowth and exacerbate issue. Check and report squirrel damage status. T28 - Holly - Trim back lateral branches in near contact with neighbouring property elevation by 1-2m.
