Horse Chestnut tree - this is a retrospective aplication for pruning a horse chestnut tree. The tree has been pruned back to the previous pruning carried out some years ago, which was authorised and commissioned by my neighbour. In addition one larger branch which was fractured was cut back, but this still left over 12' of length from the trunk. The work was commissioned because of the significant overhang over our gazebo. T2 Horse Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) Spec: S10 Reduce lateral branches on East side to suitable pruning points. Reason: R2 To ensure future compatibility with site, surroundings and usage
