T2 Silver Birch - Reduce the height and spread of the tree by up to 1.5 metres, approximately back to the previous pruning points. T3 Weeping Willow - Re-Pollard back to previous pollard points. Reason for Works: These works are part of a regular management regime, in keeping with how the trees have historically been maintained.

This proactive approach helps keep the trees at a suitable size for their location and maintains their aesthetic value within the landscape.
