T1 Lime - Crown Lift by removing all lower growth to provide 3.5 metres clearance from ground level. This will be achieved by removing 3 low branches. This is to provide more light and space to the garden and hedges below. T2 Yew - Reducing spread of the tree that grows out towards the Neighbours garden (East side of the tree) and the parking area (North East side of the tree) by up to 1.5 metre. Pruning cuts will be made at suiteable branch unions leaving good growth points so as not to unbalance the look of the tree. Reasons for works is to stop the tree encroaching on to the neighbours property and also to lessen the over hang to the parking space reducing the amount of debris falling on to the cars. T3 Weeping Ash - Pollard tree @ 4 metres from ground level, the cuts will be made just out side the main knuckle of the tree. To leave the main stem as a feature of the garden and a good habitat for wildlife. The tree is suffering from Ash die back (Hymenoscyphus fraxineus) and due to the location of the tree being in a pubic area the works are required from a safety point of you.
