Proposal
T1 - Oak: Crown raise to approximately 4m above ground level by removing the lowest limbs back to source in order to give clearance and access, and improve aesthetics and light. Reduce crown by removing approximately 1-2m of branch length back to appropriate growth points to maintain size (see photo), mostly shortening significantly extended limbs back in line with crown average. Prune lower limbs on South side of the crown to appropriate growth points to ensure 2-3m clearance to the neighbour's roof. We would also like to give notice of the removal of the extensive major deadwood Data via plota.co.uk
