View council mapT1 - Beech - Crown lift over garden of 11 Grove Park to remove one lower main limb and 2 long thin branches / limbs that extend towards house. Also remove limb arising from bough that overhangs the fence with 9 Grove Park, pruning back to fork above fence, thin secondary branches on remaining part of bough. Also light thin of upper crown by 10% to remove any weak crossing branches, plus remove damaged, weak branches between above limbs referred to previously. Reason: Has grown unchecked towards the house for many years with the canopy within a few metres of the house and conservatory and it is clear that the property would benefit from some pruning to reduce shading and light obstruction. Pruning would also create a more balanced appearance to the tree as the weight of the tree is biased towards 11 Grove Park.
