T1 Ash - Reduce the height and spread of the southern and eastern crown by up to 1.25 metres, pruning back to approximately the previous reduction points. The crown is currently squat in form, with the majority of growth extending laterally to the northwest and northeast; selectively reduce these areas by up to 2 metres to rebalance the crown and create a more uniform shape. Ensure finishing cuts do not exceed 80mm in diameter. Additionally, remove deadwood throughout the crown and crown lift over the lawn area to achieve approximately 3 metres clearance above ground level. The purpose of these works is to continue the ongoing crown management and create a smaller, less sporadic and better-balanced crown form suited to the current domestic setting.
