T2 Holly - laterally reduce the Holly in line with the existing hedge T3 Copper Beech - To reduce the lateral branches 1m beyond the previous reduction points. This course of work is to remove the new lateral growth from the previous reduction works and to reduce the branches by a further 1m but no more. Also, reduce the co-dominant stem on the eastly side of the tree growing towards the neighbouring garden above DavVida House by no more than 3m. This branch would not be visible from the tree owners garden and the reduction would not impact on the shape of the tree. The work would bring the crown of the tree in and create a more pleasing shape viewing from the garden of DavVida House. It would also allow an increase of sunlight to a very shaded garden without any detrimental effect to the owner. The above works is to allow some light into the garden of DavVida house and reduce the instance of over hanging branches.
