Cut back by 1 metre, leaving the tree 7 metres in width, tree has become overgrown, causing a lot of fallen debris to fall in the neighbour swimming pool on Hambledon Place. Thin trees by 15% to allow more light into the garden and just enough to still be useful for screening. Situated on the boundary of Dulwich College sports ground.
