1) Oak tree - TPO. I would like to have maintenance work carried out again due to excessive shading. As in previous years I would like to thin crown by 15 to 20% to focus on lateral weeping branches, to reduce spread on all sides. Remove shoots on trunk up to 4m from ground. This will increase light to garden and house.2) Holly (rear of property). I would like to fell this tree due to excessive shading to the rear of the property.
